#1803: Move LSUThorns into git repositories at Bitbucket --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: unset | Milestone: Component: Other | Version: development version Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Comment (by barry.wardell):
I'm looking into moving the thorns at the moment. It was suggested in[https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1801#comment:3 another ticket] the thorns be moved as follows:
* PeriodicCarpet into Carpet * QuasiLocalMeasures into EinsteinAnalysis * SummationByParts into CactusNumerical (needs license to be LGPL) or Numerical if code does not adhere to the stricter Cactus rules (ie it really needs documenation for that) * Vectors into CactusUtils or Utils (same as SummationByParts)
The first two are straightforward and I think their suggested new homes are fine. Any objections to switching SummationByParts and Vectors from GPL to LGPL? Would we need the agreement of all authors before doing so? Or is the copyright considered to be held by the authors listed in the README (there are no copyright headers in the source files)? The committers (and number of commits) to SummationByParts are: diener (77), schnetter (31), korobkin (8), eschnett (6), tiglio (4), knarf (1) and the committers to Vectors are: eschnett (70), svn_bwardell (11), knarf (3), barry.wardell (2), hinder (2).
As far as Vectors is concerned, I'm fine with a switch to LGPL.
