Bradley and Karen
discuss the inclusion of ZFS GPLv2-or-later code inclusion into GNU GRUB.


Show Notes:

Segment 0 (00:35)



Bradley and Karen discussed the inclusion of ZFS code now included in GRUB, as the GRUB Project announced and
was covered at LWN by
Jonathan Corbet.

It's not mandatory that GNU projects have assignment to the FSF.
The
GNU Maintainer's guide discuss the requirements when items are assigned
to FSF. (14:40)

FSF requires that the entire codebase be assigned once GNU project
maintainers choose to assign copyrights. Conservancy's policy on
copyright assignment differs here; Conservancy will accept partial
copyright assignment. (16:07)

Bradley mentioned the COBOL front end to GCC
that is not in the main GCC codebase because it is not copyright
assigned to FSF. (17:40)

Bradley and Karen discussed the Squeak
relicensing last call. (25:49)

Bradley posted a comment
to Corbet's article. (32:30)


Final (45:45)



The calendar Bradley was thinking of was the International
Fixed Calendar, which Wikipedia confirms, with a sourced link, was
used by the Eastman Kodak Company from 1928 to 1989.
