It works (and went) like this: a skeleton of the the configuration file Doxyfile.in is first auto-generated by Doxygen. Then, Doxyfile.in is customized by hand. When a new Doxygen introduces new options, or deprecates old options, it gives to the user thee option to update the configuration file with sane default, without modifying, if possible, the user choices. I made the error to follow Doxygen's suggestion, and updated the configuration file. Doxygen added the comment descibing Xapian as "open source", even if Xapian is GPL. I've changed that comment now. However, this is fragile, and I'm not completely comfortable with the change because Xapian, in his own home page, describes itself (wrongly, but this is not the point) as open source. Anyway: fixed. > rtai-lab/scilab5/RTAI/license.txt says: > > Copyright (C) 2009 Roberto Bucher > 2010-2011 Holger Nahrstaedt Fixed > rtai-lab/scilab5/libs/scicoslibs.tgz lacks copyright and licensing notices. This is more tricky, and I need your help in deciding what to do. The tarball contained some precompiled libraries, with sources taken from scilab, version 5. Now: if one gets a pre-built scilab, or builds it from scratch, he does not get those libraries build as we need them. Thus, the initial choice to distribute the pre-built libraries. However, I don't think distributing binaries is right. Thus, we got rid of the pre-built libraries (the -tgz is gone), and are instead including the sources, taken from scilab 5, together with the Makefile required to build them. I went through the added files, and fixed the copyright notices (mostly removing the FSF address and adding the link to the GPL, but also adding the text of the licenses). However, we have a problem: many files (mostly those in rtai-lab/scilab5/scicos_src) do have a copyright notice, but without year. And, as these are not our files, but we have simply copied them, I really don't know what year I could put there. So the question: is this ok? If it's not ok (I know it is not a "valid copyright notice" as descibed in http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/ValidNotices/ ) then please don't waste your time on the tarball. And, if this is not ok, what would be better to do? 1) get rid of those sources, host somewhere a tarball with the sources, packaged as we need them, and modify the Makefile in suche a way that the tarball is automatically downloaded 2) do the same of 1), but with the pre-built libraries 3) give up out hope and go somewhere else (really hope this is not the case) 4) other ? What do you suggest? Thank you in advance, Marco _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?14529> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
