Re: custom license (package: bwctl)

2012-05-02 Thread Raoul Borenius
Dear list members,

a new bwctl version has been released under the Apache 2 license.

A lot of source files do still contain the old license and
I do not know what to do about that.

Can the source files be left unchanged because there is a LICENSE
file in the root directory of the source tar archive that states
that the software is released under Apache 2?

Or should upstream clean the source from the old license or should I
do that for the debian package?

I've uploaded the new version to mentors if anyone wants to
take a look:

http://mentors.debian.net/package/bwctl

Thanks very much for your help!

   An update on this one:
   
   Upstream is apparently preparing a new release which will be released 
   under
   the apache license.
  
  Which version of the Apache License?
  
  I hope it's the Apache License version 2.0
  http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt
  and *not* the obsolete version 1.x (which I personally consider
  non-free)...
 
 I've been assured it will be v2.
 
 Best regards,
 
  Raoul

I would suggest asking upstream to fix those source files.
