Follow-up Comment #35, task #15078 (project administration): > WRT the extremity---I don't think I see the point very well
Well, it was about “a difference between "University of Edinburgh, UK\n Copyright 1999" and "Copyright 1999 University of Edinburgh, UK".”, and the gettext part. > That's easy: the latter is legally valid, the former is not Uh. I didn't even imagine that. That's good to know, and should probably be added to https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/ValidNotices/ > The guidelines explain in detail that every file should have the notices Yes, but maintainers will understand that for their own files, not files introduced by autotools & gettext, which maintainers don't have maintenance power on (except just not using them, which I could partly revert to because it didn't have actual impact, but if I had to completely scratch using gettext, I'd then not be respecting the GNU Coding Standards). > > ...and this is not a way to get more people into free software > Our primary goal is not getting more people into free software. That would be nice, but we don't want it at any cost. Ok. Well, there is a difference between "any cost" and "not bothering maintainers with code they do not actually maintain". Getting back to the case at stake, I believe the current code status, uploaded on http://dept-info.labri.fr/~thibault/tmp/speechd.tgz , was fixed according to the comments? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?15078> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
