Bdale is the original author of elilo-installer, although it's derived from lilo-installer. rhirst, cjwatson, bubulle, dannf, Jim Lieb, and I have each made changes that might be substantial enough to be copyrightable (or not).

Since lilo-installer is licensed under the GPL version 2 or later, I suggest it's sanest for elilo-installer to have the same license. I place my modifications to it under this license. Could the listed people please respond with a similar statement?

Isn't this our _second_ udeb that got past the ftp-masters with no copyright file? It's not the last one. See upcoming mail for quik-installer. :-/
