   Did you try to find Kenneth Cox?  Please report--we need to find him.

Sorry I missed reading Gerald's message amongst the +300 I get every day.  
Unfortunately I had to spend another 10 minutes reloading/reviewing 
last month's email to locate Gerald's request to locate a Kenneth Cox...

Dear Tom,

I am the current gnatsweb maintainer and Milan Zamazal, the current GNATS
maintainer, suggested that I contact you for help in locating "Kenneth
(or just Ken) Cox". I've also seen the spelling "Kenneth H. Cox".

Ken has maintained gnatsweb after the original contribution by Matt
Gerassimoff, but somehow ``disappeared'' more than one year ago, IIRC.

Unfortunately, the license for gnatsweb is not clear, so we already
contacted Matt, but we also need to check with Ken to make sure.

Ken's old e-mail address Kenneth H. Cox <address@hidden>
seems to bounce.


According to Milan, RMS has suggested that we contact you for help with
this; if I misunderstood, please let me know nevertheless.

Gerald

Gerald, is seems to me you let this one slide.  You should have resent the
original request to RMS AND ME sooner.   I always notice and usually respond 
to all requests from RMS quickly.  And it would have saved me time from 
going back over email more than a month old.  Gerald I am now also
wondering why you did not at least cc: your most recent email to me as well?

Since Gerald you are now offline until April 6th anyway I will try and locate
Kenneth Cox by then unless anyone else knows/found/finds him first?

A simple google search for "Kenneth H. Cox" fails to an alternative address...
However www.senteinc.com contacts lists...

Seems the best bet is to contact Sequence Design in MASS and or one of 
the other locations above for a current forwarding address/number for 
Kenneth H. Cox.  MASS is local to me so I will try on Monday 3/26.
Others local to the other locations listed above could try as well. 

Unless address@hidden and or address@hidden respond sooner.
(This should have been tried by Gerald in the first place)

   RMS,

   Milan (GNATS maintainer) and me (gnatsweb maintainer) have been trying
   to solve this issue, but it seems we have to escalate this to you.

   I'm also Cc:ing Hugo and savannah-hackers as for them this is important
   as well, and it came up while discussing further collaboration with them.


   Right now, gnatsweb, the GNATS web frontend, is a software without
   license.

   Specifically, gnatsweb is not GPLed, and doesn't contain any license.
   It originated as a source code posted to a mailing list.  Its original
   author Matt Gerassimoff <address@hidden> has no problem with
   relicensing his code under GPL. He wrote:

     I thought it was under GPL.  I wrote the first version but all I did
     was release the code without license.  As far as I'm concerned, I
     would include it in the GNATS distribution and release it under the
     same license.  Kenneth seemed to have disappeared and I and the gnats
     mailing list haven't heard from him in about a year.  Since I wrote the
     first version my suggestion should work.  I don't think he would have a
     problem.

   But the next maintainer, Kenneth H. Cox, who made a lot of changes to the
   code, is unreachable -- none of his available e-mail addresses works and
   nobody on the GNATS development list seems to know a contact to him.

   As Milan has told me (based on your advice), I contactd Tom E. Turner
   <address@hidden> to help with locating Kenneth H. Cox, but didn't receive
   any reply from Tom.

   How shall we proceed?  It would be great could someone from the FSF
   help with that, especially given that both Milan and me are located
   in central Europe (and quite loaded).

   Gerald

   PS: I'll be essentially offline until April 6th.
