Bug#683184: RFS: suckless-tools/39-1 [ITA]
* Vasudev Kamath <kamathvasudev@gmail.com>, 2012-11-13, 20:13:
Changelog now reads: "Changed License to Expat instead of MIT/X
Consortium License as DEP-5 doesn't allow spaces in License name." But
in 38-2 there were no spaces in short license names.
[...]
Ah this is what happened in previous mail you said copyright
information is wrong for some tools and while reading LICENSE file I
noted it as MIT/X Consortium License instead of MIT license which was
previously written in copyright. So I modified I did document this
change I assume then as per your suggestion I changed it later to
Expat!.
I know what happened, but it's impossible for someone else to deduce it
just by reading the changelog. The short history name was like this:
A) MIT
B) MIT/X Consortium License
C) Expat
A->B change is not documented, only B->C is. Also the fact that B
existed at some point of VCS history (but not in any released version)
is not really interesting for end users. So I propose only to document
A->C switch; see the attached patch.
Typo: soruce- > source. Also, a space is needed between "3.0" and
"(quilt)".
