1. "License" is American spelling. I would not say that American spelling is correct and British is wrong. The authors of the packages bearing LICENCE file are, of course, mostly from the UK. 2. Anyway, unlike default setup.sh, builder-defs already does an honest effort to automatically ship anything which would be a logical place for copyright-related information. So even if "licence" would be considered correct only in one minor dialect of English (5% of all native speakers, for example), it would make sense to try and copy LICENCE file if there is at least one known package that uses it for copyright information. 3. There is an upstream package that actually requires redistributors to ship the copyright notice with all copies of the package and puts it in LICENCE file. I plainly do not want to rename the file with the notice without a very good reason. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJJRUK2AAoJEE6tnN0aWvw3yeMIAI3QlArlKHHOa2XoVVRn1wcX kPmnigeo26RI50MR+AX1L6C38ijLbqvZyJ6mFHn707lJ+t6b9oJ87XHWudbekyUt YmcU6+nV9Q2Rn6D04NvpcthnvT2mJ0y4dDgXZ90KE9oCIhfPny1h9vALk1Zt+e8a Ij/ge86qArbqBHGnytCZGM3M5Qs/9SHkEtH44hSgGAhmO8FkpWzEAkQyZMIbgkKs xh9aKNEJ1oDnmetgVhgVjy14Aeva1FdkUISDKaJ05EoLcdCtOcQ9SpaR7O2tKY5K rxgidzZKgVADgdChd8IPfD59+a/0vCSjWsLIUcNUEpHQsZ9Bx1ytI/c4tCXfmRQ= =ae5e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
