Hi all,
we recently removed the FSF addresses from license headers in our files to avoid the maintenance of updating them every time the FSF decides to move their office.
Now we also added checkpatch.pl that comes from Linux to automatically ensure some consistency across the tree, and it looks for removal of the entire paragraph. Now, that may just make sense and I'm willing to update the scripts to do that and update the tree.
The paragraph in question is: ---- You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc. ----
Since the GPL is fairly well-known (incl where to find it), and our tree already contains the license in the toplevel directory, that paragraph shouldn't be necessary.
Opinions? Patrick
