Please clarify licensing of dict.[ch] and anet.[ch]

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

The copyright of the dict.c, dict.h, anet.c files is marked as belonging to
Salvatore Sanfilippo, but they don't actually specify a license. Further,
anet.h does not have any copyright information at all.

Although there is a GPL-2 "COPYING" file in the same directory, as a number
of files are licensed under other varying licenses (eg. sds.[hc] is under a
2-clause BSD), it would be preferable if these were explicitly labelled.

Just to be clear, I'm not stating a preference for any particular license,
just that the files contain their respective notices.

Best regards,
Chris

I need absolutely to fix this issue! I'll do this ASAP in the SVN. The good 
news is
that all the C files in the Redis distribution were written by myself so I can 
change
the license of every file to everything we need. Thanks for reporting this 
problem.

Great, many thanks. I'm thinking of uploading Redis to the 'experimental' 
branch of
Debian (for more testing exposure) and this is the only blocker to that.

Done, Redis is now fully BSD licensed.
