[Bug 656628] Re: [Maverick] License text missing

2010-10-08 Thread Fido
Sorry for reporting then, but as far as I am aware and unless my english
is very bad (this might be true) according to the link that you posted
the GNU foundation explicitly tells developers to add the well known:

Considering that every other application has it you might understand why
it strikes as a little odd to use an entire text panel just to put 'GPL
2+' and not to tell what about it (it's like writing 'Vroomfondel'... we
all know you it is, but what is he doing there?).

I understand why you would think this to be the case and I wonder myself
why they didn't add more.  Since this is more of a question than a bug I
am going to move it to the Questions area.  Feel free to follow up on it
in there and see if you get an answer to this.  I will do the same as I
am interested in an answer as well.  Thanks for taking the time to
report this though!

The license is not missing it is there.  GPLv2+ is the correct license.
