Good point - PIDL is already mentioned at the top of COPYING in this way.
I know :-)
Now the question becomes, are we legally required to list *all* additional licenses in COPYING, or only when the license itself requires it? There are currently a couple of licenses which we carry but aren't listed in COPYING, in addition to GPLv3 (html2text.py) and GPLv3+ (PIDL) which is mentioned but not included.
For me it's not really a matter of "legally required" but a matter of politeness. So while all the "real" source files require a GPLv2(+) compatible license I don't mind adding a paragraph like this: The following source files contain code not covered by but compatible with the GNU General Public License version 2: <list of files> Ciao Jörg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer () loplof de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
