I don't know the current legal theory about the "Oracle elects ..."
text blurb. It used to be required, then it wasn't required anymore,
then i thought it became required again. I don't know what are the
consequences of removing it, either.
If anyone can confirm what is the current status of the License
Election text, i would appreciate it.
I'll ask legal about the attribution requirements.

Hi Stefan,
components/gpgme/gpgme.license:
Can we remove the below wording from the license files? The original
instructions from Greg V said we should remove GPL Disclaimer Language,
although it cited the Sun version of this disclaimer.
8 Oracle elects to use only the GNU Lesser General Public License
version
9 2.1 (LGPL)/GNU General Public License version 2 (GPL) for any software
10 where a choice of LGPL/GPL license versions are made available with
the
11 language indicating that LGPLv2.1/GPLv2 or any later version may be
12 used, or where a choice of which version of the LGPL/GPL is applied is
13 unspecified. Unless specifically stated otherwise, where a choice
14 exists between another license and either the GPL or the LGPL, Oracle
15 chooses the other license.

components/nmap/nmap.license:
Same comment as for gpme regarding the GPL Disclaimer.
components/openusb/openusb.license:
TPNO #8843 has some faulty information in its Attribution Requirement Note,
which doesn't belong in the openusb.license file, including the below text
in lines 89-93, followed by a 2nd copy of the license, followed by the
same "Engineering must ensure..." text again, followed by a 3rd copy of
the license.
89 Engineering must ensure that the following license is included in
the documentation of the Oracle product that includes the code.
90 Additionally, the following information must be provided in the
'copyright information' file of every Solaris Package that contains this
code:
91 (1) third party code name and version,
92 (2) Oracle Internal Tracking Number xxxx (DELETE this is the Third
Party Tool Number of this review), and
93 (3) applicable license text/copyright notices contained in this
Attribution Requirements section below:
It appears only line 1-84 in open.usb license (LGPL) may be correct, but
the
curious thing is that the Public License field under the Details tab in
TPNO 8843 has only a BSD license, which isn't included in openusb.license.
openusb.p5m says the license is "LGPLv2.1, BSD", so I suspect it's supposed
to be both.
You'll want to iron this out with legal, so they can
fix the TPNO Attribution Requirement Note to the correct license text.
