Hi,

[As Srini asked me to do this,]

I approve the planned license change for all of the code I ever
contributed to Evolution.

Cheers,

I remember sending an Evolution copyright assignment to Ximian. Just
in case you also need my permission, but could not reach me via old
email menesis@...:

I agree to the re-licensing of any Evolution code I have written.

Would be nice if you changed the email, or, if you are not aware of
any code left, just remove me from contributors.

Permission granted for default-mailer plugin (and any other code I've

I am told that you guys have found some of my code in Evolution that
is gpl2 (only) and that you would like to have it re-licensed to dual
lgpl2 (only) and lgpl3 (only).  We are talking about code that arrived
in Evolution via GAL, notably code in e-colors.c, e-table-col.c, and
some table tests.  There might very well be more.

You are welcome to use that code and, in fact, any of my code that
used to be in GAL under the dual lgpl2/lgpl3 license.

You're free to convert the license to my Bogofilter plugin code, as well
as any other patches I've committed to Evolution, to LGPL v2 or v3.
I appreciate your efforts.

Hi,

I'm ok with relicensing all the code I have contributed to evolution  
and evolution-data-server as LGPL v2.

I hereby allow you to relicense all the code I wrote for evolution and
evolution-data-server under the terms of the LGPL v2 and LGPL v3.
This includes the code that supports addressbooks on a webdav server and
all other code I have contributed to evolution.
