Sounds fine to me. And it makes it easier for me to use it in d2x. (which has a
very confusing license)

As mentioned before, I'm all for the license change since it would

Hi Ryan,
Sorry for the delayed response. (email troubles at
Stanford among other things)
I approve of a switch to the zlib license for
code I own in PhysicsFS, so you can sign off
everything I have there.
Thanks,
Eric

Wow... forgot that I had ever written anything for that...
Anyhow... in addition to having no problems with you
changing the license.... I also give to you any say in
any future matters pertaining to the two or three lines
of code that I sent you. 8^)

You know, I don't think I ever contributed code to physfs, but if you
manage to find out something I may have, then you have my approval to
switch it to the zlib license...

Hi Ryan!
For your mailfilters:
"I approve of a switch to the zlib license for code I own in PhysicsFS."
The change of license makes sense, what use is a library when the target
audience is reluctant to use it. Keep up the good work.
Btw. if you need any other non-babelfish english -> german translations
just contact me.
best regards,
michael renner

I have no problem with you licensing my contributed code for PhysFS to
the zlib licensing.

Hello. Sorry for delay in reply, things've been messed up for the last couple
while..
I think that changing it to the Zlib license is a great idea... never
realized there were those sort of complications with the LGPL - thought it
was a much less restrictive license than your plain vanilla GPL, but I guess
not less restrictive enough. I've no problem at all with you putting any of
the code I've contributed under the Zlib license.
