Thanks for catching this, Oliver. I have now fixed the standard headers for all the GNU licenses for the upcoming release of the SPDX License List. Not sure how this got messed up, as I clearly remember discussing and looking over those headers oh-so-long-ago! In any case, you seem to be quite good at catching these details - perhaps we can convince you to take a more proactive role with the group? :)
This also raises a question as to how we will deal with the standard headers once we implement the new license expression syntax with the 2.0 release of the spec and license list - to be discussed on today’s (and probably subsequent) calls! cheers, Jilayne SPDX Legal Team co-lead opensou...@jilayne.com On Jul 10, 2014, at 8:44 AM, Fendt, Oliver <oliver.fe...@siemens.com> wrote: > Hi Team, > > I checked the license list because I was searching for the GNU Free > Documentation License 1.3 or any later version.
