Well, I do not know of Vegard (I have not heard from him for some time
now, but he contributed most parts of Evil), but for me it's ok.
However, I do not really know anything about that legal stuff (neither
what has to be done nor what its legal consequences are). And I do not
know if all contributors agree, of course.

Furthermore, I suppose that most people use the git version of Evil (via
melpa), so I'm not sure how important a GNU ELPA package would be. But
if there is some interest in providing one I'm willing to do so.

Best regards,
