Yes, if I remember correctly (IIRC ?) this is stated in the gnu page, the
license change must be approved by all the authors. A note on the authors
file: some of them are among us, other are taken from the source, I think,
since I have never got a message from them.

I have been on the wine page (after a look to www.wine.org which is the
wrong link, but interesting: Manu ?) and did not see anything about this
change. Anyway I have written a mail to Juillard asking him for details.
Let's see what Juillard replies. The procedure (sign and mail seems good
to me).
I think we have collected enough dubts, it is time to write to Newton.
