Hi, Since nobody else has replied to this yet, my understanding of what happened with license checks is roughly as follows. I was not involved, so YMMV - this is all just gained from observation of what's happened - someone else please correct me if I'm wrong.
a) someone, somewhere, made a decision to change license headers (I don't know where this discussion happened, at least I don't recall this happening on-list) b) tst_licenses (or was it all qtqa tests?) were disabled, presumably to allow a) to happen c) license headers were changed, without checking that they actually passed the test d) license checks were reenabled, making everything fail e) 5.5 got branched without this having been fixed f) licenses were changed (again) in dev, fixing the tests g) finally, dev was merged back down to 5.5 to fix the failures there By my count, there's a few failures here: * it would have been nice to have a "heads up" about the headers change. * disabling license checks to update headers seems to have been a pretty terrible idea * branching 5.5 before fixing that seemed to create a lot of additional confusion, especially without any real communication about what was going on with all of these issues The situation is - I think - almost back to normal, bar some modules that aren't part of releases.
