I don't think it is right. What I do is try some random files in each directory to check that they have the right license. I also look carefully at things that seems to be added by external contributors. I also look at file names to try to find out some files that could come from other projects and be problematic. And as soon as I find one thing which isn't right, I do a complete audit of all the files. > So looking into every source file for license information was > probably not done for every package. And sometimes even included binary files Is it really to be done on each file? For big non problematic packages, I don't think it is worth it. -- Pat -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
