The 2 ImageSelection files are the only such cases AFAIK, they are not just "examples" of "some files". These files were taken from Jiro Doke's imclipboard submission on the Matlab File Exchange (http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/28708-imclipboard) that uses a variant of BSD-2 that is nearly identical (and certainly included by) the BSD-3 license of export_fig
.
I do not intend to fix this minor licensing inconsistency. Anyone who feels uncomfortable about it can simply remove these 2 files from their export_fig
installation. They only affect the export-to-clipboard option of export_fig
, which is a very minor feature.
For example https://github.com/altmany/export_fig/blob/master/ImageSelection.java seems to be not under BSD.
Perhaps it makes sense to introduce license information according to the SPDX standard. The reuse tool could help here. We have recently done that with https://github.com/scsitape/stenc/ if you want to see an example how this could look like.
