Does the pcmanfm version control system have history info going back far enough to find out who first uploaded it? The autogen.sh in the pcmanfm Lucid package is dated 2008-09-05 and is completely different, so it doesn't seem to have been *that* long ago that the newer one was added ... ah, here we go: > commit 842a30fd8dc6a336e800dbe35428c7edddb4d7d7 > Author: Hong Jen Yee (PCMan) <pcman...@gmail.com> > Date: Sun Aug 9 13:47:04 2009 +0000 > > Apply the same autogen.sh script used by lxde. So this code has been in pcmanfm for less than two years. >> I do not know how to fix the lack of copyright and licence in >> xml-purge.c, because I have no idea who wrote it.

So this one, we can easily fix :) Please add a licence and copyright statement to it; I'd suggest the same licence the rest of the pcmanfm code has, GPLv2 or later, but it's your code, so it is your decision how you licence it! If you can also update Copyright statements for your files to be 2009-2011 rather than just 2009, that would be good too. Hmm, I found a few more files with possibly missing info: src/gtk/exo/exo-marshal.c: *No copyright* UNKNOWN src/gtk/exo/exo-marshal.h: *No copyright* UNKNOWN src/gtk/exo/test.c: *No copyright* UNKNOWN src/tests/test-fm-path.c: *No copyright* UNKNOWN src/udisks/udisks-device.h: *No copyright* GENERATED FILE src/udisks/udisks.h: *No copyright* GENERATED FILE On the plus side, I'm not hearing any "major big bug" reports from anyone testing pcmanfm -- so either not enough people are testing it, or else it is in reasonably good shape for release :) Can we get copyright/licence info fixed up wherever we can, and then (unless we have major bugs to fix) generate a pcmanfm release tarball? And a libfm one too?
