licensing information incorrect in some source files
elementaryBot opened this issue · 1 comments
For Example (maya-calendar):
Running licensecheck on the maya-calendar sources reports that some of the files which include licensing information include the wrong FSF address.
$ licensecheck -r . | awk -F ": " '{ print $2 }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -gr
163 No copyright UNKNOWN
101 UNKNOWN
38 GPL (v3 or later)
6 LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address)
4 No copyright GENERATED FILE
4 BSD (2 clause)
3 No copyright GPL (v3 or later)
2 LGPL (v2.1 or later)
The affected files are:
$ licensecheck -r . | grep incorrect
./core/Backends/Backend.vala: LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address)
./core/Backends/BackendsManager.vala: LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address)
./core/Backends/LocalBackend.vala: LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address)
./core/Backends/PlacementWidget.vala: LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address)
./plugins/CalDAV/CalDAVBackend.vala: LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address)
./plugins/Google/GoogleBackend.vala: LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address)
Package checkers / linters (for example the compulsory fedora one - rpmlint) complain very verbosely about this.
