Thanks; this is useful, of course.
Since modification of these files is not allowed by the consumer, may I ask
for three kinds of whitespace modifications?
- Replacing tabs with spaces. Tab width is not universally 8; it is 4 or 2
in many Windows editors, and is 4 by default in Eclipse, even under Linux.
This is how the COPYINGv3 file looks like in Eclipse on Linux. (Screenshot
attached.)
While hackers know how to configure their editor to a tab width of 8,
license files are often also looked at by non-hackers.
- Removing trailing spaces (COPYINGv3 lines 79, 512, and COPYING.LESSERv3
lines 13, 114). I'm sure Jim will vote for this too :-)
- Centering the title lines equally. Here is the current middle column of
the title lines:
file line middle column (0-based)
COPYINGv3 1 33
2 34.5
8 32
71 33
621 34.5
623 34.5
COPYING.LESSERv3 1 35.5
2 34.5
