Hey, while updating our copyright file before uploading to Debian, I noticed that few files didn't have any license/copyright information. Mainly: engines/balou/gnome-uri.{c,h} which has no indication and might have been taken from GNOME by Benny engines/mice/{preview,slide}.{h,png} (commit comment seems to indicate that François Leclanché made them but...) engines/simple/{preview,fallback}.{h,png} (I guess those were made by Benny but am not sure).
Any news on this ? :)
> engines/balou/gnome-uri.{c,h} I did a bit of archeology, and they were taken from libgnome (removed from libgnome in 2000). They are not 100% identical (they have probably been updated later), but very very similar. They were removed in 9f07c3afbe2ba96f7800742f80e9e9ff85cc5f44 (http://git.gnome.org/browse/libgnome/commit/?id=9f07c3afbe2ba96f7800742f80e9e9ff85cc5f44), so I checked out the previous commit 6ce7f5ffb763fc37e8c1b5605df930693e7c3e2c (http://git.gnome.org/browse/libgnome/tree/libgnome/gnome-mime.c?id=6ce7f5ffb763fc37e8c1b5605df930693e7c3e2c#n583). gnome-mime.c: LGPL-2+ * Copyright (C) 1998 Miguel de Icaza * Copyright (C) 1997 Paolo Molaro * All rights reserved. gnome-mime.h: LGPL-2+ * Copyright (C) 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 Free Software Foundation * All rights reserved. The "All right reserved" don't look good at all… :/
I don't really remember who did the mice/simple ones, maybe I did, maybe Francois did. In either case, they are distributed under the terms of the GPL. The gnome-uri.[ch] files must have been taken from GNOME, otherwise there wouldn't be a gnome- prefix. I don't know why the copyright text is missing, but let's just assume that Lionel spotted the correct file in libgnome.
I had applied the same changes as suggested by benny yesterday, I'm marking this as fixed. Feel free to reopen if there are any additional issues.
