Hello, It depends on the distribution. You could probably find out by typing: locate "COPYING" at your shell prompt. Lots of results should come from this, and you should be able to tell where the license information is generally held for packages. On Debian, it is often in the /usr/share/doc tree. But, no, there isn't a certain directory or folder that is guaranteed to contain a copy of the license. -- Sincerely, John Sullivan Program Administrator Free Software Foundation Phone: (617)542-5942 x23 59 Temple Place, Suite 330 Fax: (617)542-2652 Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA Email: info at fsf org http://member.fsf.org -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
