[XBoard-devel] XBoard developer news

[Tim Mann]

Hi, folks.  A little good news for you.

* Wilkin Ng has completed the process to file paperwork with FSF
disclaiming copyright on his changes to XBoard/WinBoard.  This makes his
contribution public domain and means that we can use it in the official
release without any worries.  (We usually ask people to assign copyright
in their contributions to the FSF, but Wilkin preferred to make his
public domain instead.)

Daniel had already merged Wilkin's changes into his development version,
so it would have been a problem if we hadn't been able to get Wilkin to
take care of the paperwork to formally grant permission.

* Stellios Keskinidis <address@hidden> has joined our
Savannah project (as well as this mailing list), and has started the
process to assign copyright in his changes to the FSF.

See http://members.optushome.com.au/stelliosk/xboard/ for info on what
Stellios has done.
