Hello, Sylvain!

But they didn't imply it's completely FSF work, did they?

Also, strictly speaking, some FSF work is released under the CC-BY-ND (of course, they never release software this way).

At any rate, in order for a package to be registered on Savannah, all its sources must include correct copyright and licensing notices; currently, some of them don't.

I think a project on Savannah is the best way to work collaboratively on these scripts. As you mentioned the current situation isn't optimal. To the least this will allow Savannah Hackers and FSF sysadmins to follow the progress on Git support for webpages.

FSF work is released under the GPL, and this code was send on the public savannah-hackers mailing list. I don't see any issue with releasing these files.

On a side note I expected some more motivation for a Savannah contribution opportunity.

Cheers!

Do we really want to release these scripts? TTBOMK they have been maintained by sysadmins, and people just beat the scripts out of sysadmins and submitted patches.

Would this package be really useful unless sysadmins take a very active part in it (and they don't seem to be going to)?

(Formally, some files lack licensing terms, and in theory there even might be issues with releasing other people's code.)
