Hi all,

I just received a git tree from Robert Bedichek, VP of Engineering at Novafora Corporation, which bought Transmeta Corporation earlier this year.

Novafora has agreed to relicense the copyrights in sparse that were previously owned by Transmeta (i.e. the work Linus did before 2003-07-01) under the MIT license.

Git repository:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=devel/sparse/novafora/sparse.git;a=summary

Specific commit:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=devel/sparse/novafora/sparse.git;a=commitdiff;h=23525c14bc263d70165fedf469d35cdb31b0ac35

Thanks to Novafora, and special thanks to Robert for putting up with a couple of snafus over the course of this. From start to finish, this took over half a year to actually make happen.

Git repository:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=devel/sparse/novafora/sparse.git;a=summary

That commit is also merged into my copy of sparse at

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/sparse.git;a=summary

but it's mixed in with some of my other local changes (warnings for weak functions being used in the same compilation unit - it triggers a bug in some gcc versions), so if you want just the relicensing it's probably better to pull the 'Novafora' branch from the repo Peter points to.

Now, to actually relicense all of git we need to get all other authors to agree, but I think we pretty much had that agreement already several years ago. I'm certainly personally ok with just going with the MIT license, but if people want something else, then obviously that license is compatible with a lot of other open-source licenses..

Excellent news. Congratulations to everyone and special thanks to Peter and Robert.

Now, should all the contributors jump in and state their consent with the relicensing? If so, for my modest contributions, you have it. While personally preferring LGPL, I'm also ok with MIT.

You might already know, but just in case, there is a new sparse development tree with some recent commits:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=devel/sparse/chrisl/sparse.git;a=summary

It probably should become the new official tree, if Josh and Christopher do not mind.

Hurray! Definitely. Nice work.

Same here (for my tiny little patches).

I personally like MIT; I'm more interested in sparse as a *compiler*, not a linter, and right now the only MIT/BSD compilers are pcc (ancient) and llvm (complex), and I think sparse would work very nicely as a third alternative with a little work.

Great news. I am fine with LGPL or MIT license.

I think probably best let Josh decide what to do with it. He can pull from my tree if he want. Either way I will keep doing what I am doing. There is not much traffic on sparse any way. Al Viro makes most of the heavy lifting now days.

I really would like to relicense Smatch. Probably to GPL v2 or higher. What's the status of the Sparse relicensing? Is anyone working on this? Should I start emailing people to get individual sign-offs on using the MIT license?

Good idea. Let me do that.

Would be nice when you would do that or at least add a "relicense" branch to have it available for the relicensing process.

The following Authors may have to be asked for their aggreement to relicense their work under the MIT license. The data is gathered by checking the author field between 1bcc92138dcdf718dc3e0c694565f56e669d6ee3..1c1a74106ea78f624105be6a9bb5d24268f38d91 (chrisl's sparse repo). At least I understood the idea behind this thread so [1].

Actually I remember to have seen this exercise before.

Afair I have already given my consent before even though most likely my changes aren't substantial to count.

Please keep in mind that the minor just says "propably not copyrightable" and not "nobody cares about this contribution". Every contribution is good.

The biggest "problem" seems to be Luc Van Oostenryck. Are we sure he is still alive? Because I have problems finding some working address for him. Maybe someone could try to contact him through linkedin or some other form.

I assume most of those belong to Sparse/LLVM. Xi, any objections to relicensing them under the MIT license?
