This is the list of all contributors as of 2008-05-22 and license exceptions they are willing to accept. Currently it is a license violation to REDISTRIBUTE binaries of Darcs linked against OpenSSL. We hope to eventually fix this using this file to track license exceptions. In the meantime, GnuTLS can be used. Another potential use of this list is to facilitate moving code to the BSD license when it is appropriate to do so, for example, when spinning things off into general libraries Note that regression tests introduced after 2009-05-15 are BSD licensed, as are any tests written by David Roundy.
