Re: Potential LSR licensing violations

[Jean Abou Samra]

Hi Jan,

Adding you to this lilypond-devel thread.

Short story: in 2019, Valentin moved the legacy Banter chord names code 
from the LilyPond source to a snippet 
(https://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=102). This code was originally 
written by you, with only minor fixes from other contributors as far as 
I can judge from the Git history. In doing so, Valentin didn't realize 
that moving this code to LSR was a violation of the GPL, because the 
code was under GPL but LSR snippets are in the public domain.

To my knowledge, this is a more or less isolated case. It would be 
simpler to have all of LSR in the public domain. Would you mind sending 
a written statement that you release this code under the public domain?

Thanks,
Jean
