RE: [cdt-dev] Update on CPL to EPL transition -- help needed

Hi folks,
 
as a further update on this... as a result of the last email, we received responses from Stefan Bylund and Uwe Stieber -- thanks to both for responding. We are now down to 4 people for completing the CPL->EPL transition:
 
Hasse Hellberg (Lizsoftware) (win32 debug contributions)
John Madsen (Illura) (1-line fix for parser - PR # 71669)
Dirk Dorr (elf parser contrbutions)
Christophe Juniet (wizard code)
 
I have sent direct emails to the individuals above (if you are reading this, please respond). If we don't get responses by the end of the week, we will have to either remove or re-implement their contributions from the CDT head (3.0) stream, in order to complete the EPL transition. This is unfortunate, but we really will not have a choice.
 
John Madsen's contribution seems straightforward (change "=" to "=="); I'm not even sure how one would go about re-implementing this any other way. On the other hand, I'm not sure how much code is involved in Hasse's, Dirk's and Christophe's contribution. Doug/Alain -- do you have any rough guesses on this?
 
Thanks to all for your continued help,
 
Sebastien

Subject: [cdt-dev] Update on CPL to EPL transition -- help needed

Hi folks,
 
I'd like to give everyone an update on where we are with the CPL to EPL transition. As most of you know, we produced a list of committers and contributors to the various components of CDT and gave this to the Eclipse foundation. They have been contacting all contributors to get their approval to re-license their contributions under the EPL. Things have been progressing quite well. We had over 55 committers/contributors on our list, and most have responded. All that responded have given approval to re-license their contribution under the EPL.
 
However, we still have 6 contributors whom the foundation has not been able to contact (or who have not had a chance to respond). Contacting these 6 contributors is very important, as to complete the transition, we need to either get positive responses from them, or re-implement the code that they provided to CDT. Here are the 6 contributors that we have not been able to contact:
 
Stefan Bylund (ENEA)
Hasse Hellberg (Lizsoftware)
Uwe Stieber
John Madsen (Illura)
Dirk Dorr
Christophe Juniet
 
If any of you are reading this message, please email me (sebastien@xxxxxxx) and CC sharon@xxxxxxxxxxx. If people on the list know the individuals above, could you either ask that they email us, or could you send us their contact info (up-to-date email address and phone #)?
 
Unfortunately, if we do not get responses within the next week, we'll have to look at re-implementing those contributions. I'm sure everyone would rather not have to do that :-)
 
Thanks to all for your help,
 
Sebastien
