---------------------------------------- Bug #5711: Fix dashboard licensing https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5711 Author: Matt Robinson Status: Accepted Priority: High Assignee: Category: Target version: Keywords: Branch: Affected URL: Affected Dashboard version: There's a LICENSE file in Dashboard's root that contains the GPLv3 license. James said in an email discussion on November 9th that this should be changed to GPLv2 and that the patch sent to the dev mailing list and an email to the dashboard dev list should be enough notification. There's also a file in /ext/packing/debian/copyright that contains the licenses of the software we depend on. The contents of this should be copied to LICENSE On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 5:34 PM, James Turnbull <[email protected]> wrote: > Matt Robinson wrote: >> There's a LICENSE file in Dashboard's root that contains the GPLv3 >> license.
