Dear contributors to the FEniCS Project,

As discussed earlier on the mailing list, we are going to collect
copyright consent forms for all material produced by the FEniCS
Project.

We do this for two reasons:

1. Relicensing of all software under the GNU LGPL v3 (or later).

2. As a protection against authors and/or employers that may want to
revoke code contributed to the FEniCS Project in the future.

What we need from you is to download the following two forms:

  Author consent form
  Institution consent form

from http://www.fenicsproject.org/pub/copyright/forms/

Then sign and send the forms (by regular mail) to

  Johannes Ring
  Simula Research Laboratory
  PO Box 134
  1325 Lysaker
  Norway

Johannes will administer the collection of the forms. Scanned copies
of all signed forms will be made available on the FEniCS web site.

Note that only one Institution consent form needs to be signed for
each institution (if there are multiple authors employed by the same
institution).

We would like to have the forms as soon as possible, preferrably
within 2 weeks (Feb 15) so that we have time to relicense all the
software for the upcoming release of FEniCS 1.0 (in March).

Direct any questions to me or to the mailing list.
