question about project license #98

Closed jkmarz closed 4 years ago

Hi!

Quick question: some of your source files include GPL headers with the "...version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version" language, and some source files don't contain any headers at all. The README.md only says "GPLv2."

Could you please clarify if all of cpuminer is licensed under GPLv2 or later? Or just the specifically marked files?

Many thanks!

Free Software Foundation, Inc. (the hilarity of using copy/paste and never reading the license before you push) holds the copyright to all of it (unless otherwise stated per file), not just the "marked files"

@jkmarz Clarified a tiny bit in #103

@TheComputerGenie Not true at all. Zero percent of the software is copyrighted by FSF.
