Therefore, the "forking" could simply require maintaining the
dual-licensed version and distributing it via CPAN then importing
importing periodically to texinfo sans changes and distributing it
as GPLv3+ there. Better yet, perhaps distributing the CPAN module
separately and a simple GPLv3+ wrapper script requiring the CPAN
module from texinfo would be the best idea.
>From my point of view, as I've tried to describe before, my
hope/plan/goal was for what's in Texinfo to be the source. I want to be
able to fix a bug in Texinfo without having to worry about synchronizing
with anything else.
And, independent of that, Texinfo certainly has to install as a
completely standalone distribution without requiring people to get
anything from CPAN. In the event that there's a .pm file, my thought
was that we end up installing it in, say,
$(datadir)/texinfo/Texi2HTML.pm and the texi2html script would have some
BEGIN code to find it there. (Or maybe relative to itself, or both.)
If all the authors agree, I figured the CPAN thing could be done by
rearranging the relevant files in Texinfo, changing the licenses, and
uploading the result.
I am sorry this has become such a major issue. I had hoped we could
just use texi2html in Texinfo and be happy. Oh well.
Best,
