If you're the copyright holder, then your actions can't be GPL violations; you don't need a license for your own work. Just because you intend to put something under the GPL doesn't mean you're REQUIRED to give notice of that intent in a particular form. Furthermore, there's nothing in the GPL saying that it's only valid if mentioned in every source file, and it would make no sense for that to be a requirement for GPL validity because in many cases it would be impossible to comply with. This is, at most, a violation of Ubuntu's policy. However, it's an easily resolved one - let's just put the notice in every source file. Does Ubuntu have a precise definition of exactly what notice they want in every source file? I'm put off if they claim "we require what the GPL requires" because that's nonsense - the GPL doesn't and can't require any such thing - but at the same time, it's more important to satisfy Ubuntu on this point than to convince them. -- Matthew Skala [EMAIL PROTECTED] Embrace and defend. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
