Hi Scott,
thanks for the review. Interesting. I did indeed trust the LICENSE and
COPYRIGHT statement as indicated by upstream. The file
COPYRIGHT
in the root clearly states
Files: *
Copyright: Copyright (C) 2008-2017 Kovid Goyal, John J Lee, Gisle Aas,
Johnny Lee, Andy Lester
License: BSD-3-clause-like
So either this is an miss of upstream, or I am missing something.
I will review the license statement again, and will contact upstream
about it, too.
Thanks
Norbert
