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.
