Thats exactly what I remembered, and I searched gmane for it. This topic (emacswiki and license) came up when bzr was adopted and the main document for transition was on emacswiki. If this is the thread you are referring to, its the one starting with this message: ,--- | From: Richard Stallman gnu.org> | Subject: Bad choice of license in BzrForEmacsDevs | Newsgroups: gmane.emacs.devel | Date: 2009-11-23 02:29:13 GMT (37 weeks, 23 hours and 4 minutes ago) | | http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BzrForEmacsDevs | allows GPL version 2, but not the current version. | This is not a good thing.
