Hi Kotrappa, You can always get the latest source from our git repository: http://www.fossology.org/projects/fossology/wiki/Git_Download
Or if you install from packages, each nightly build is on: http://www.fossology.org/nightlybuild/2.5.0/current/ The 2.4.0.tar.gz is only the 2.4 release, not the latest source. So it won’t have Larry’s change. Be aware that Larry’s fix has not been tested extensively and I’m not sure it is a good solution. Here is what he did: diff --git a/src/copyright/agent/copyright.dic b/src/copyright/agent/copyright.dic index dcd5972..306880d 100644 --- a/src/copyright/agent/copyright.dic +++ b/src/copyright/agent/copyright.dic @@ -1,5 +1,6 @@ copyright -(c) +copyright (c) +(c) copyright written modified patched I’m not convinced that removing (c) was a good idea. I think this needs more testing.
