[SoX NG]

Follow-up Comment #6, task #16553 (group administration):

Any Fingerhut write to me re: the lpc10 source code:
=================
I have updated the files in this repository
https://github.com/jafingerhut/lpc10

to have an explicit copyright notice on all C source files, and that they are
released under the BSD 3-clause new or revised license.

I also updated the top level README to mention some of the things you say in
your email (I did not name you), and that my copyright and choice of license
are conditional on those statements being correct.

Hello Martin,

"Sox" rings a little bell, from a very long time ago, probably much before 
2015:-) I'm sorry for the legal mess, which is not my area of expertise.

I'm happy to say that I hereby grant permission to use my code that is 
included in SoX for any purpose.

In other words, from my point of view all my contributions to sox can be 
considered "public domain".

Is that enough for you? Do you need more?

Fabien.

=================

What I am thinking is to boilerplate a GPLv3 copyright notice at the top of
every source file, assigning copyright to the Free Software Foundation with
written underneath: "subject to the requirements of the previous copyright
notice:" and whatever there was before. From my studies, none of them are
"incompatible" with the GPLv3 but I'd appreciate guidance on the correctness
of reassigning copyright in this manner.

Legal consequences, frankly, let anyone who wants to study and contest
incompatabilities between the GPLv3 and the ten or so licences (or lack
thereof) do so. After all, I'd be the one to take the rap, having made the
changes in prima persona, so Bring It On! :) I think I am bulletproof, but
then doesn't everyone?

Blessings
