- Subject: License texts in base-files?
I've just been reading what Debian does with it's base-files,
it includes several license texts. Would it be useful for Cygwin
to do that too? Then we could just point folks to their own machine :)
If we did, is GPL the only license that should be included? Debian
includes the following...
Artistic
BSD
GPL (ln -s GPL-2)
GPL-2
LGPL (ln -s LGPL-2.1)
LGPL-2
LGPL-2.1
Also, should they be in the same location; /usr/share/common-licenses?
Thoughts?
