Had to look up "tacitly":
in a tacit manner; by unexpressed agreement; "they are tacitly
expected to work 10 hours a day"
And if I understand things correctly, you could argue that, but you'd be
wrong :)
"I know it's a common assumption that everything posted to a newsgroup
is public domain ... but guess what, just posting something does not
mean you give up your copyright."
(from http://www.tipz.net/sins_copyright.htm)
I think we will be forced to drop files from the new library, until the
authors either agree to the new license, or the parts get recreated from
scratch. Of course, until we have some critical mass of authors
agreeing to a license, the new library won't be of any use to anyone.
