Re: missing copyrights

The COPYING files says nothing about public domain. There is no exclusion,
like all files shall contain individual licenses.

I'd say it is save to assume the first license applies - GPL.
For more details scan the directories for a COPYING. They show more about 
GPL, LGPL (partitially with FLTK clauses, BSD and MIT.

I thought the policy is about having a COPYING file applying for all 
sub directories until a new COPYING file appears. This would be in the 
manner of a project and sub project license.
Probably this is a wrong assumption?

As well I can not find a hint to need to write the license into each file.
Can anyone help?


kind regards
