--- Comment #8 from Michael Catanzaro <mike.catanzaro@xxxxxxxxx> ---
Thanks Kalev.

According to the Fedora Licensing FAQ, the GPLv2+ notice buried in the
documentation, though not ideal, sufficiently addresses this issue from a
Fedora packaging perspective, correct?

I do want to add license headers if possible, but I can't add myself as a
copyright holder to most of the files as I haven't significantly modified most
of them. Can you advise on the appropriate course of action - would it be
proper to say "Copyright <year of modification> The GNOME Chess Developers" or
something like that?

The About dialog issue seems separate a bit of a mess; most older GNOME apps
have a separate license tab which contains the copyright notice specifying
GPLv2+, while most newer ones just use a GtkLicense, which just links to the
license.  Chess used to have a License tab, but it was replaced with a
GtkLicense two years ago since the About tab needs to be internationalized, but
there doesn't seem to be a way to internationalize multi-line strings in
Vala[1]. I guess the GtkLicense works well for other projects that do have
license notices in the source.
