Missing licences in source files #3

Closed cdaniel closed 10 years ago

cdaniel commented 10 years ago

Hey,

I am not a lawyer, but...

...please add licence text to all source files. Each files without licence header is considered as not licenced, and therefore can't be used or packaged in any linux official repo.

Best regards!

Thanks for reporting this. I thought GPL recommended that all of them should be marked but it's not mandatory. One obvious example where not all files contain license in header is Linux Kernel source code.

It's not a big of a deal and I will add them. Thank again!

I did not knew about kernel. The point is that once your files are copied/incorporated into other project, the link between the licence and the files is broken.
