 Replying to [comment:5 Otto42]:
 > Understand that the people here wrote the code and share a joint

 GPL only applies to licensees of the code in question; the downstream
 people using and redistributing that code.

 Pardon?

 Maybe you have just overlooked that the package forked from b2/cafelog?
 And that the actual copyright holder of the code includes contributors
 whose code got used by project members to add it to the software?
