Re: custom license (package: bwctl)



Dear list members,

a new bwctl version has been released under the Apache 2 license.

A lot of source files do still contain the old license and
I do not know what to do about that.

Can the source files be left unchanged because there is a LICENSE
file in the root directory of the source tar archive that states
that the software is released under Apache 2?

Or should upstream clean the source from the old license or should I
do that for the debian package?

I've uploaded the new version to mentors if anyone wants to
take a look:

http://mentors.debian.net/package/bwctl

Thanks very much for your help!
