[I started writing this as a reply to the previous GPL thread, but since
I hadn't made significant progress so I didn't bother to post. The
draft mail has now been sitting in my mailbox for 3+ weeks so I'd better
just send what I have now.]

I was wondering what te current status is of the intention to get
Cinelerra in the Ubuntu repositories by checking all the licenses of
each file?
The previous "gpl headers" thread left us with a few questions.
Question 1: How many files in Cinelerra?
svn export hvirtual hvirtual-ex; cd hvirtual-ex;
for dir in `find hvirtual-ex -maxdepth 1 -type d`; do echo -n "$dir: ";
find $dir -type f | grep -c .; done;
.: 5238 # total number of files
./mplexlo: 3
./m4: 23
./plugins: 2433 # almost half of them are in plugins
./image: 3
./debian: 20
./admin: 1
./toolame-02l: 57
./quicktime: 486
./guicast: 630
./mpeg2enc: 54
./libmpeg3: 88
./cinelerra: 1015
./doc: 389
./po: 22
Question 2: What files are non-GPL license?
This is what needs to be checked. I propose that anyone interested in
this license issue go to the wiki collaboration page I just created
http://cvs.cinelerra.org/docs/wiki/doku.php?id=cinelerrafileslicensestatus
And follow the instructions there to volunteer to audit a particular
subdirectory.
An automated grep would probably be 98%+ accurate, but to truly
guarantee correctness I think the files need manual scanning.
My understanding is some of those directories are not "cinelerra"
proper, but 3rd party support libraries. They probably have a blanket
license.
