Well yes. Thats what we have to do. Go through every file to check for a
license header. If theres none or a GLP header we're good. If there does
happen to be one thats licensed otherwise we have to note that
difference in the debian/copyright file.
Is a manual scan necessary, or do license headers have some kind of typical
syntax - if there's a typical syntax would using grep to scan for "license"
be a good place to start?
Hello,
I don't thing greping for the word licence is a good idea. That's not
because there's no licence header of any kind that you can make any
assumption about its licence. Some applications or librairies doesn't
have such headers in their sources. Mmmm... that sounds like Cinelerra,
doesn't it? Moreover, some files could contain code from different
applications.

So how will it be possible then to find out what license a file has?
