Hi there. A few days ago I stumbled across a project being hosted on Google Code which seems to be hosting code not licensed under an OSI-approved license; the header comments state that it is "All Rights Reserved" code.
The link to the project is here: https://code.google.com/p/sourcebans/ The project claims to be GPLv3, however the header comments in the "web_upload" directories of each branch clearly contradict this. For example (note the @copyright phpdocs and the lack of @license phpdocs): https://code.google.com/p/sourcebans/source/browse/trunk/web_upload/index.php#8 https://code.google.com/p/sourcebans/source/browse/trunk/web_upload/includes/system-functions.php#8 https://code.google.com/p/sourcebans/source/browse/branches/sourcebans-2.0/web_upload/index.php#6 https://code.google.com/p/sourcebans/source/browse/branches/sourcebans-2.0/web_upload/bootstrap.php#6 Considering also how there is no LICENSE file, nor mention of a license in the readme file here: https://code.google.com/p/sourcebans/source/browse/trunk/readme.txt a closer look should definitely be taken at whether or not this project should be hosted in the first place. Thanks for your time, and we open source devs appreciate what you provide us. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Hosting on Google Code" group.
