TODO: it’s probably enough if the project “manager” agrees on behalf of their contributors; both LilyPond (because they relicenced a later version) and MuseScore (because contributors sign a CLA, even if MScore/Emmentaler comes from an external source and is licenced separately from the MuseScore scorewriter software) have strong indicators that this might suffice, plus we’ve already got individual agreements from select contributors; some people even assume that a coauthor can do this under select circumstances, and for every project several coauthors already agreed
TODO: until everyone gave their explicit agreement, it’s probably enough to assume agreement by concludent act:
- MuseScore has multiple possibly concludent acts:
- the project per se is under CLA
- every contributor submitted in the understanding that the font would be embedded into the binary, which could only be done with the proper licence
- both the binary and the font licence were constant since then
- the project is, as of right now, continuing to redistribute a binary comprised of the GPLv2-only software and the MScore font
- Emmentaler was relicenced later, so there should (hopefully) be no reason not to spread this to the older version unless a contribution was removed in between the time of the fork and the time of the relicencing, which I think (from some git research) wasn’t done
- the projects know, both by direct eMail, and, in the case of MuseScore, via a bugtracker entry
While this is not an explicit licence grant, it may just be enough to not throw it out until all explicit agreements were obtained (Emmentaler is weaker, I’d really prefer for at least Han-Wen to agree)
@vpereverzev and @igorkorsukov you seem to be involved with MuseScore whole-project licencing. Can you confirm this?
If so, could you please have a look at this? I’m not entirely sure how much of the contributions to the font called MScore (derived from Emmentaler) over the years was covered by the CLA, but if you and Werner could agree to relicencing the parts that are and point out which, this would help us along a lot. (I’ll still need to prod the LilyPond side more, but…)
