So we agree in principle, what other Copyright statements have I missed? I admit I do not read each source file but I do a grep on "Copyright". If there are none, then that is the end of it.
I don't search for missing copyright statements, typos, or for any comment that could be interpreted as a copyright like "public domain" or "do what you want". I don't know how to handle these or if they have any legal significance. That's the limit of my understanding :-) > > Regards, _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
