BTW I also find it questionable that prepare_spec adds a SuSE copyright line and moreover it replaces the License. I don't think that's right.
It doesn't - It's called 'SUSE' - not SuSE :) (That's the case since 2004; let's get used to it)
At first SuSE should finish their stupid rename work ;)
$ grep -r "SuSE" /usr | wc -l 3158
$ grep -r "SUSE" /usr | wc -l 2923
Suprisingly most of this stuff is arcane unpacked changelogs and header files with copyrights. This stuff is not updated unless there is any other change. Which is quite fine. What is more important is that if you google SUSE or SuSE what kind of results you get. Luckily I see only three mentions of SuSE on first 10 google pages, where two of those are pages from 2003 and 2002 and one is download location for postgresql http://www.postgresql.org/download/ linux/suse/
Why did they renamed it all? Such things do not make sense to me to me ... Choosing such ugly CamelCase name was a big mistake. But renaming was an even bigger mistake.
I don't see much trouble with the addition - any added copyright of the author remains in place if he decided to note one down.
It also replaces the license text written by the original author. It looks like the original copyright holder agrees with that license.
Yes it does replace the license. If you disagree with the spec to be licensed MIT then your spec is not mostly acceptable for Factory. Thus either you accept it or do not contribute. Tomas
