I certainly do not have a problem to insert notices into the rtapi and the few other source files, those will be fixed of course. I was referring specifically to configs/* and tests/* . What you are proposing is to add license statememts in some 5 or so new files in configs - fine; that leaves the other 1700 or so existing files under those directories without one, which doesnt make sense to me. This is why I proposed the directory license statement solution for those directories. - Michael > Besides my own preferences, I saw during my earlier license audit that > many directories have more than one license on the source files they > contain.
