Hi, I'm afraid you'll find such all over the place in git, and in the linux kernel too AFAICS, try 'git grep -i -A10 copyright' in a git repo clone. But I don't think this is a problem, contributions to git need a 'Signed-off-by', and the very post-receive-email script came in through 4557e0de (git show 4557e0de), which has been signed-off properly. Please see Documentation/SubmittingPatches, 'Sign your work'. So, just as /usr/share/doc/git-core/copyright says, the git releases are copyright (c), Linus Torvalds and others, licensed under the GPL2. And so is this script in contrib/hooks/. I'm about to close this bug, thanks, Gerrit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
