X Strike Force Render SVN commit: r58 - trunk/debian



Author: branden
Date: 2005-06-17 17:04:17 -0500 (Fri, 17 Jun 2005)
New Revision: 58

Modified:
   trunk/debian/changelog
   trunk/debian/copyright
Log:
Update copyright notices in files that claimed their copyright was held by
Software in the Public Interest, Inc. (SPI) to assert copyright ownership by
Branden Robinson.  Branden never signed a written instrument transferring
ownership of any copyrights to SPI; therefore, under U.S. law as Branden
understands it at least, no such transfer ever took place.

Change license terms on Debian packaging to use original MIT/X11 license
wording (without the anti-publicly clause later added by X.Org), instead
of the different language used by Keith Packard upstream.
