[M3devel] On the way to release other packages in GPL?

[mika at async.caltech.edu]

Is there some consensus on what precisely needs to be extracted in terms
of a release?  The Linux discussion earlier on this list made no sense
to me, it almost sounded like someone was wilfully misinterpreting the
plain English of the legalese.

Also who is/has been the best lead so far?  I can see if I can find
someone through various connections...
