Re: Bug#238245: license choice - consensus on dual MIT/GPL-2+ ?



Hi,

Note: the last version of the patch, including Francesco's remarks, is
in the BTS [1], and the result is available online [2].

The first link is actually internal, I didn't send it to the bug report
(because it's just a copy of the license), but please find it attached.
If something is missing, could you please fill the blanks?

Isn't it already the purpose of the proposed copy [4]?

Since we already ship a legal/licenses/ directory, I thought it would
make more sense to add those copies there, instead of dropping them on
the root directory, like opl is (or, maybe soon, was), but if you have a
better proposal, I'll be pleased to update my test mirror in order to
share it.
