Extra "59" in LICENSE #59

Closed mtelka closed 1 year ago

mtelka commented 1 year ago

The LICENSE file in the source tarball contains these lines:

Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA

Please note there is extra 59 at the end of first line above when compared to https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.txt.

I'm not sure where the LICENSE file comes from (it is not in git), but it would be great if the extra 59 is removed from it.

Thank you.

Please make a pull request for the Software::License distribution to get this fixed. The file in question is here: https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/Software-License/blob/main/lib/Software/License/LGPL_2_1.pm

Incidentally, it looks like the extra "59" has gone unnoticed for at least 15 years.
