> Read part 1 and 3

I have read part 1, didn't know there was a part 3.

I'm just saying that imagine (in a hypothetical situation) there is a large code module written by an original author under the GPL. Over time it is worked on and line by line it is eventually fully replaced with new code by 5 other people.

Even if you get the 5 to agree to a license change, the original 1 would still have an argument that it was all derived from his original work and should remain under GPL.

I have no idea if this situation applies to you, it was just an idle thought.

This is not the case here. And part 1 explains exactly this, with the git log part.

Part 3 will close the loop altogether.


Oops, missed that!

In my defence I drank a lot of rum last night...


But you did not share your rum with me, this is unacceptable :)
