I'm trying to track down the original authors of cdecl.
cdecl was dropped from Fedora Core a few years ago because of
licensing concerns. The original postings to comp.sources.unix (vols
6 & 14 in 1986 and 1988 respectively) have no licensing information.
In order to get cdecl back in we would need a definitive statement
from key original authors that the code can be distributed under a
free license (eg. GPL or BSD-style licenses, or even public domain).
I already wrote privately to Tony Hansen who was involved early on.
Chris Torek posts here, but I can't send him email. Graham Ross,
according to my researches, last worked at Thinkshare, but email to
his last known address there bounces. Are there other people who
contributed major parts, and where do they work now?
