Hello friends!
Here at Devcon we've decided that we should consider our code to be GPL v2 or
later (thus trying to put an end to a pretty long and tiring discussion that's
been going on in the Rockbox camp).
We need to go over the existing code and hunt down all code that might not be
v2-or-later and rip that out or convert it to code that licensed v2-or-later.
I'm quite sure that we at least have parts that origins from Linux, and that
is specificly v2 only.
If you are a contributor to Rockbox and you disagree with this
decision/interpretation it is important that you speak up (as soon as
possible) so that we can discuss the matter and figure out how to deal with
your existing contributions.
