Follow-up Comment #13, task #16553 (group administration):

[comment #12 comment #12:]
> To put it another way, are any of the categories of files, given the new
permissions from the contactable authors, incompatible with the
GPLv3-or-later?
> 
> I've examined all the files, now someone needs to examine each category of
file. They only have to find one that is duff to resolve the question, or say
they consider all to be OK or remediable.

Why can't you tell this yourself?  What info do you miss?

> My second question is: which of the categories can be licensed or relicensed
as GPLv3-o-l, other than the GPLv2-o-l ones?

For Savannah, what matters is not whether some code can be re-licensed under
the GPL, but whether it can be combined with parts released under the GPL in
the same program, that is, whether it is GPL-compatible.  For the list of
GPL-compatible licenses, you can check
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html.

> > the fact that it's a work of the US should ideally be checked
> I've checked those files' authorship from the git logs. 2 were first
comitted by Rob Sykes, UK citizen, whose permission I have, 2 by Chris Bagwell
the main author, for 3 I now have Coelho's permission to use them and 1 by
Chris Ausbrooks whose email at the time was @ualr.edu in the US.

"Work of the US" means that it is legally a work of the state; it has nothing
to do with the citizenship of the people who did the work.
