It does indeed. Luke, terribly sorry for any unintentional offense given, that was certainly not our intent back in 2009, nor do I imagine it's anyone's intent today.
HOWEVER As the note higher in the file indicates, the source was taken from the pyjamas repo. While the file did not (and still does not) include a copyright license itself, the repo in which it is located does include an Apache v2 license in its COPYING file: http://pyjamas.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pyjamas/trunk/COPYING?revision=2448&view=markup Looking through the other files in the pyjamas repo, it seems to be common practice in the repo to not list copyright licenses on a per-file basis. Here is an example of one taken at random: http://pyjamas.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pyjamas/trunk/library/pygwt.py?revision=2448&view=markup Here's another: http://pyjamas.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pyjamas/trunk/pyjs/jsonrpc/jsonrpc.py?revision=2448&view=markup Given the existence of a top-level license file, the absence of any contradicting license information on the file itself and a pattern of not applying license headers to each file in the repo, application of reasonable and customary practices in the Open Source world holds that the license communicated in the repository's COPYING file is intended to apply to all of the files in the repository unless otherwise indicated. I'm putting this back to invalid. Whether it was your intent at the time, you offered this code to the world under the terms of the COPYING file in the pyjamas repo back in 2009. Since you are the one who announced the existence of the file in the pyjamas repo on the debian mailing list, I'm pretty sure the file was not put there without your permission. ** Changed in: drizzle Status: New => Invalid -- 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: Invalid 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.
