[Buildbot-devel] Licensing clarification

[Gianluca Sforna]

Hi,
A new Fedora policy requires me to better specify the license of
packages included in Fedora 8.

For the complete story:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines
and
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/FAQ

Now, while reviewing the buildbot files, I found out that there is no
COPYING (or LICENSE) file containing the full license text, nor the
source files have a copyright notice as suggested by:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html

The file buildbot/changes/hgbuildbot.py is the only one with a proper
copyright notice, though the version is not specified.

So, what I would need is an official statement from the copyright
holder(s) about which version of the GPL the sources are covered (v1,
v2, v2 or later, etc)

Moreover, I suggest you add to the source files an header like the one
proposed in the gpl-howto, and possibly add a COPYING file with the
full license text.

Thanks in advance for your help

Gianluca
