(for the record "50k" is measured in lines, not bytes)
I looked at icons. No dice, but almost there. Let me explain.
* share/icons/gnmoe218/* lacks any notice of copyright and license.
Not distributable, especially as the directory suggests that's
someone else's work (GNOME project)
* share/icons/padre/README.txt says:
This directory contains padre-specific icons, all of which have
either been created from scratch by members of the Padre team (they
fall under the same terms as Padre itself) or have their source
individually documented and verified.
This fails in two ways.
* "members of the Padre team" is rather wague. The team is not
a legal entity and cannot hold copyright. I'd suggests adding "as
described below" to make it clear for the future additions to the
list that each icon has to have the author's copyright
documented.
* "same terms as Padre itself" is vague too. Right now, to the best
of my nitpick^W knowledge, all padre sources use "same terms as
Perl itself". Why not mention that explicitly for the icons too?
Some day, part of the padre may use another license and then
"same as Padre" becomes a puzzle.
* actions/x-document-close.png
"Taken from KDE4 Oxygen theme". Please include exact copyright and
licensing terms at the time the file was taken from KDE4. For
instance, I am pretty sure that file is not licensed "same as Perl".
It can also change later, making the trunk/ URL not reliable source
of such information.
* status/*
"Created by Padre developer Steffen Mueller"
Please add copyright statement (with an year) and explicit license.
Thank you for your patience dealing with boring legal stuff.
