wikipedia code copied into source?
Hello,
Looking for guidance. I'm trying to close ITP #492875; the
upstream includes a file... this is the entire file:
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/740724/
aka, code copied from Wikipedia into a GPL-2+ package (ugh). The
issue is no copyright notice.
I went through the history of the page (double ugh!) and found
these edits:
Initial creation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Luhn_algorithm&action=historysubmit&diff=363597751&oldid=362687349
One modification:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Luhn_algorithm&action=historysubmit&diff=368678397&oldid=363763275
Current embodiment:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Luhn_algorithm&action=historysubmit&diff=383426059&oldid=382607308
Can someone please advise whether it's ok to distribute this file?
Thanks!
