Dear Andrew Baldwin. Thank you for the submission of your code to me. For relax to be able to legally incorporate the code, a copyright licence from all authors is required (as well as which years the code was developed, for the copyright notice). relax is an open source software project which relies on the GPLv3+ licence (the GNU General Public Licence). You can see an example of the copyright notice at the top of this file: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/relax/branches/relax_disp/lib/dispersion/ns_2site_expanded.py?revision=20464&content-type=text%2Fplain&pathrev=20478 I would like to have your permission to use the code I have submitted to the tracker. It requires a statement to one of the relax public mailing lists, such as this one, similar to: "I agree to licence my contributions to the code in the file https://gna.org/support/download.php?file_id=20615 attached to https://gna.org/support/index.php?3154 under the GNU General Public Licence, version three or higher. My copyright covers the years 2013-2014." For reference, the GPL licence is explained in detail at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html. The copyright licence allows the code to be used in relax for ever - the GPL licence to the code in relax can never be revoked. But you own the copyright to your code - it is not a copyright transfer. So you are free license your code as you wish in the future, or to do as you like with it. But you cannot re-license the code that is located within relax or revoke the licence. This is the standard protection for open source projects. If you are happy with this, then please respond to this message with text similar to the above statement (it can be copied and modified). This will allow the code to remain in relax. It also allows other relax developers to expand on the code. I will then add your names with the dates to the copyright notices in the relevant files in relax. You are also free to give suggestions as to how you should be acknowledged in the relax user manual (temporarily at http://download.gna.org/relax/manual/relax.pdf). Best Troels E.
