Incongruent licensing #69

Closed veimox closed 3 years ago

veimox commented 4 years ago

Hi! I have noticed that even though the package's license is BSD and that most of the headers in both .h and .cpp files are having the BSD clause, some files are not:

gazebo_ros_force_based_move.cpp has Apache 2.0 vs the .h that is BSD
servo_plugin.h has GPLv2 vs the cpp is BSD
diffdrive_plugin_6w.h has GPLv2 vs the cpp is BSD

I think it would make sense to homogenize all headers to BSD, what do you think?

Thanks for reporting! As the force_based_move plugin is based on the Apache 2.0 planar move plugin we'll keep that one, but I fixed the other two via https://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-pkg/hector_gazebo/commit/93ec5114dda2d440c175f3be2c7af9543e2d729f which apparently originate from a copy/paste omission (the same headers in gazebo_ros_pkgs are BSD licensed).
