could get in touch with the people who wrote changes to those files,
and get their permission to relicense it under the new SGI Free
License B or something compatible. The FSF would be ready and eager
to help with that sort of effort in any way within our power that you
all would like; we spent nine months negotiating with SGI to fix the
original license, and we want to see to it that all the remaining
loose ends get tied up too.
I admittedly don't know all the details involved here; like I said, I
haven't figured out exactly who made changes, I don't know who's
holding the copyrights, and so on. So please let me know if any of
those details have an impact on the situation, or if you have any
questions about where I'm coming from on this.
Best regards,
