Follow-up Comment #5, task #15228 (project administration):

Thank you!

> Just curious, do you use some tool to verify the license headers or just use
some fancy regex grep?

We did have some tool, but it hasn't grown up from the beta stage. These days
we check the tarballs manually.

Basically, all non-trivial files should have valid copyright and license
notices <https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/ValidNotices/>, including
images: when file format doesn't allow such embedded notices, a README file in
the same directory should list these files and provide the notices for them.

forget all the procedures...

This is a valid point, but I have no idea how we could keep our policies in
effect without relying on package admins remembering them.
