All Rights Reserved. /me notes that a lot of the Oracle-copyright files are actually GPL-2+, not GPL-2. That might not be obvious because I bungled some of the SPDX tags when spdx deprecated the "GPL-2.0+" tag and we had to replace them all with "GPL-2.0-or-later", though it looks like they've all been cleaned up at this point. Question: How can we autogenerate debian/copyright from the source files in the git repo? In the long run I think it best that this becomes something we can automate when tagging a new upstream release. --D > Comment: For most files, only one of the copyrights applies. > License: GPL-2 > > Files: > libhandle/*.c > Copyright: 1995, 2001-2002, 2005 Silicon Graphics, Inc. > Comment: This also applies to some header files. > License: LGPL-2.1 > This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it > under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by > the Free Software Foundation; version 2.1 of the License. > . > This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT > ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or > FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
