A copyright notice would not be enough for the SuSE/Novell legal team. http://video.fosdem.org/2009/devrooms/opensuse/fosdem09_day1_09-legal.ogg http://license.opensuse.org/doc/Legal_Aspects_of_Distribution_Development_v4... (page 8) I get the impression from this presentation that the licence informations are incomplete for a couple of source files that belong to YaST for example. http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/branches/SuSE-Linux-11_2-Branch/qt-pkg/src/... I would appreciate if the relevant licence data that is indicated by the corresponding packages would be also clearly expressed in the source file headers. Are Novell's other open source software components similarly affected, too? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
