Yes, all sources carry this copyright header, right above the quoted text they say: /* Copyright (C) 2004 Alistair Riddoch <alriddoch@xxxxxxxxxx> This goes for all sources, this is also the only name in the AUTHORS file, so luckily this seems a one man project. Ask him to make up his mind, or put a clear copyright notice somewhere that the code is dual licensed under both the GPL and the license in the code. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
