There was some code in colourspace.c which was by another author, it was
basically minimal code (setting some conversion values in tables). All of
this has now been rewritten from scratch. As far as I know the copyright
file is up to date. If anybody finds something missing, let me know and I
can add it in.

All of the LiVES code is licensed under the GPL v3 or LGPL v3. In fact, I
made the change on the day that the GPL v3 was released, and am proud of
that fact. During the transition there may have been one or two files
which were mistakenly left as GPL v2 or higher. I believe all such files
have now been updated. If you find any files marked GPL2 or higher, please
let me know and I will update them.

OK, I still need to make this one change, I will check it into CVS now.
