| Summary | 0000513: mygetopt.h licensing terms are outdated (NetBSD moved from BSD-4-Clause to BSD-2-Clause) | ||||
| Description | https://github.com/file/file/blob/70819a8a96d69c7ce1b106b8cfe7f965e3c79115/src/mygetopt.h currently reports the BDS-4-Clause licensing terms, including the problematic advertising clause. However the NetBSD foundation relicensed everything to the BSD-2-Clause in 2008, see https://www.netbsd.org/about/redistribution.html#why2clause (the file has a CVS id from 2007). They also state that "Third parties are encouraged to change the license on any files which have a 4-clause license contributed to the NetBSD Foundation to a 2-clause license." so it would be nice to update the licensing terms of the affected file, to make the life of licensing auditors slightly easier. :D | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Just check src/mygetopt.h | ||||
