So..... I was thinking a bug of severity "wishlist", suggesting that licensecheck implemented detection of above quoted phrase in relation to detecting GPL, flagging that as non-GPL licensing. ...but a quick search at codesearch.debian.net (which is limited to line-based search!) for "shall have no liability to disclose" gives no hits, so maybe it is overkill for licensecheck to handle this peculiarity. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
