Remove or change libcnary's COPYING file #119

Closed hadess closed 5 years ago

hadess commented 6 years ago

From what I can see, all the files under the libcnary directory are LGPLv2+ licensed, but the COPYING file says GPLv2. I can cook up a patch if we agree on the license. Is there an upstream for libcnary where this could be discussed and sorted out?

libcnary has it's own COPYING in the libcnary subfolder which says

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2.1, February 1999

so I don't think this is any issue here. We have COPYING and COPYING.LESSER in the main source tree. However in fact there are just two files, m4/ax_pthread.m4 and m4/ac_python_devel.m4 which both are GPLv3. Now I wonder if we should remove the main COPYING (which is GPLv2), rename COPYING.LESSER to COPYING and add another COPYING with GPLv3 into m4 subdirectory ?!

No, that's fine. I'm not sure how I missed the COPYING file in the sub-directory, and I can't find the reason why right now either. Let's close this, thanks for poking again.
