Most of this has been resolved on the tip of the stable branch. GPL2 is the explicit license > Should we assume that this is the license provided for *all* the files > without proper statement? Even for hggtk/logview/graphcell.py, whose > copyright holder is "Canonical Ltd."?? This file comes from bzr-gtk, which has a generic GPL license (GPL version 1, 2, 3). I think it is ok for us to distribute this as GPL2. > * hggtk/dialog.py includes this statement: > # This software may be used and distributed according to the terms of > # the GNU General Public License, incorporated herein by reference. > but no license is incorporated... same question about the version as > above... Again, I think it's safe to distribute this as GPL2. If I'm wrong, someone please send me a link explaining why. This particular file, I would like to get rid of.
