Update regarding the autoconf files in main/:
If you are interested in a list of the files in main/ then please have a
look at [1].
In main/ you will find the files
acinclude.m4
aclocal.m4
config.guess
config.sub
install-sh
which are used in the autoconf process.
The files aclocal.m4, config.guess, config.sub, install-sh do not have
AOO specific content. They are copies of generic files that we have
included into SVN just for convenience. I am currently looking into how
they can be re-created on the fly. However, they do not seem to pose a
legal problem:
install-sh seems to have a MIT license
aclocal.m4, config.guess, config.sub are all copyrighted by the FSF
and are under GPL but their headers include this paragraph:
# As a special exception to the GNU General Public License, if you
# distribute this file as part of a program that contains a
# configuration script generated by Autoconf, you may include it under
# the same distribution terms that you use for the rest of that program.
The only file that looks like a potential legal problem is acinclude.m4.
It contains some OpenOffice specific macros (and thus can not be
re-created on the fly) and contains this in its header:
dnl @author Caolan McNamara <cao...@skynet.ie>
dnl @author Daniel Richard G. <sk...@iskunk.org>
dnl @version 2006-05-01
dnl @license LGPL
Any comments regarding the legal status of these files?
