Great!
to do so, however, i need to know exactly how to scan the files. this
how-to should be written along with this info here
http://cvs.cinelerra.org/docs/wiki/doku.php?id=cinelerrafileslicensestatus,
i suppose. as far i have understood, i need to have the CV version
installed (ok, done) and... what? how do i scan for the headers?
please answer this question with a step-by-step example and i guess
we can have some work done soon.
when scanning, then, if there is a header saying it is GPL, LGPL or
if there is no header at all, the file is fine, no reports. if it
says anything else, post a report for further investigation. is that
it?
I think you've got the general idea. I updated the wiki with a little
howto section. Hopefully it is sufficient. (Text is pasted below)
If someone sees a problem or improvement please provide feedback (and
update the wiki if it doesn't require discussion first).

============================================================
How To Determine A File's License
1.
(Per package) check if there is a global license for the
particular package you are examining (e.g. toolame is different from
cinelerra) Usually this will be in a LICENSE file in the root, but
could be named something else (e.g. toolame has LGPL.txt). Also check
the project's home page for details of the license used.
2.
Check if the individual file contains a license different from the
global package license. If it is different then note the file. If a file
has a separate license it should be right at the start of the file. You
shouldn’t need to scan the whole file.
3.
Of particular interest are files that are not GPL or LGPL.
