So, here is the deal, a deal that i think most people on this ml would wholeheartedly agree with: if _you_ want LGPL, _you_ get to sollicite all individual contributors.
Fair enough. A few questions on that:
- I'm assuming there are is a small core of folks that form the heart of
the project. I'd like to start with them if possible because there is no point in going broader than that if the core developers don't agree.
FWIW, i dont care much about LGPL vs. GPL. ill follow the majority of the core devs.
Would someone be willing to provide a list of the "leaders"? A quick look at the source shows a few names that show up a lot (Uwe, Carl-Daniel, Stefan, etc.), but always hard to tell without the benefit of having followed the project over time.
commit logs and https://www.ohloh.net/p/flashrom/contributors should give you a good overview.
- Is it ok to derive the list of approvers based on the copyright statement
in the source files?
it's probably better to look at the signed-off lines of commit messages, this would also give you the mail addresses.... the earliest commits dont have them though.
