awesome, thank you for adding the copyright.... but.. ahh... that brings us on to a second issue: who added the apache 2 license without my authorisation or consent?
i would not release code under the Apache Software License: i would release it under the GPLv3+. in this instance as it is a stand-alone program that does not impact the drizzle project as it's not "linked" etc. etc. i must apologise because i was not expecting this file to be useful, so i did not put a license notice in it (at all) at the time that i wrote it. which means in effect "all rights reserved, and you need to contact me to ask for my permission to use it, and to request under what license conditions it may be used". i have not received any such communication from the drizzle team in any way, shape or form. so, copyright law being what it is, you may not assume that you have the right to assign an arbitrary license to this copyrighted work: only the copyright holder (myself) may decide that, and i choose the GPLv3+, not the Apache Software License v2. much appreciated if you could correct this second oversight. in addition could we possible follow the correct bugtracking procedure, instead of marking the bug as "invalid"? that would seem to indicate that you are claiming that the legal assertion of copyright ownership of this file is invalid. that would be very unfortunate if any member of the drizzle team was attempting to make such a claim. so would you agree that it would be much better to follow "normal" bugreporting procedure i.e. to mark the bug in the normal way: accepted, in progress, fixed, reviewed etc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of UBUNTU - AL - BR, which is subscribed to Drizzle. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698652 Title: copyright violation on copyright_check.py Status in Drizzle: New Bug description: hello, i am looking at the following: https://fossies.org/dox/drizzle-7.2.4-alpha/copyright__check_8py_source.html the copyright holder notice is missing from this file. please ensure that you respect copyright - particularly and ironically in a file which checks copyright - by restoring the following copyright ownership notice in the file: # Copyright (C) 2009, Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <l...@lkcl.net> to make it absolutely clear: you may not assume copyright ownership of this file, implicitly or explicitly. many thanks.
