Michael Jumper created GUACAMOLE-353:
----------------------------------------
Summary: Clarify ASF header within Makefile.am, etc. regarding
build system output
Key: GUACAMOLE-353
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-353
Project: Guacamole
Issue Type: Task
Components: guacamole-server
Reporter: Michael Jumper
Priority: Minor
Pieces of the contents of {{configure.ac}}, {{Makefile.am}}, and related files
are included in the build output of GNU Autotools when the source archives for
Guacamole are generated, including the ASF boilerplate comment. Because
autotools also inserts its own FSF boilerplate at the top of these generated
files, we end up with a confusing combination of FSF and ASF headers.
This concern was brought up during the release VOTE for 0.9.12-incubating, and
discussed in LEGAL-300. The final conclusion of this was:
{quote}
... I would suggest simply to edit the license header in Makefile.am such that
it is correct both in situ (in Makefile.am) and when transcluded into
Makefile.in. Basically, add a sentence or two explaining the licenses of
Makefile.am and Makefile.in and that verbatim transclusion is occuring.
{quote}
The above change should be made wherever necessary, once suitable wording has
been determined.
