[osg-users] License/Legal spelling/grammar
Hi,
I've had to read through the OSG license today and would like to
contribute some spelling and grammar fixes. It is in no way intented to
change the terms of the license, so please check.
First up is the page at:
http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Legal
I selected the text alternative format from the page and saved as
Legal_old.txt. The edited version is named Legal_new.txt, wdiff output
also attached.
Secondly, the LICENSE.* files contain the changes for the LICENSE.txt
found in the OSG top dir (it is also attached to the legal wiki page
mentioned above). I only changed text in the very top part.
regards
jp

Re: [osg-users] License/Legal spelling/grammar
No problem,
I didn't say it's wrong, neither did emacs :), but can we at least make
all uses (those that come from OSG, top part of the file and the wiki
page) consistent? Do you want to change the filename?. I realise we
would not change the use in the LGPL e.g.
The spelling of licen{c,s}e was not the main point of the thread though,
the other errors concern me more.
