It seems we made a decision in November 2011, regarding license
statements in source code files, [1], but did not follow through
with the implementation of this decision: 'check-copyright' reports
more than 2300 failures.
Does everyone still agree
- to put into the source files a license header that is consistent
with the module description, and
- to remove the statement from the documentation
"The source files always say "GPL", but the real license
specification is in the module description file." ?
