[aur-general] List of packages with no license information in core, extra and community
Hi all, I just came across some package in extra and noticed it had no license information at all in the PKGBUILD (though the package is not even gpl). So I got the idea of checking if more packages had this problem and came up with a list of the core, extra and community repositories (it should be easy to run the script for unstable and testing too if required). Please all take a look at the list and fix the packages. It really are too much packages without license information! Respective bug reports can be found for core & extra: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9971 community: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9970 I also attached the lists to this mail. Regards, Ronald

I noticed that some of the files listed are changelogs or patches... this happens for example with my pulseaudio package, which carries a license, but its ChangeLog is listed. Corrado

Yes sorry, I should have mentioned you must only look at the packages which /path/to/PKGBUILD does appear in the list. Not sure why a couple of others did show up in the list (and I didn't bother too much because it are just a couple).
