From 77fd4fa2827087dc00615137da78730500823259 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2022 16:08:15 +0100 Subject: src: Add GPLv2+ header to .c files of recent creation This patch comes after a proposal of mine at NFWS 2022 that resulted in agreement to license recent .c files under GPLv2+ by the attendees at this meeting: - Stefano Brivio - Fernando F. Mancera - Phil Sutter - Jozsef Kadlecsik - Florian Westphal - Laura Garcia - Arturo Borrero - Pablo Neira It has already happened that one of the external library dependencies was moved to GPLv3+ (libreadline), resulting in a change to libedit by default in b4dded0ca78d ("configure: default to libedit for cli"). I have added the GPLv2+ header to the following files: Authors ------- src/cmd.c Pablo src/fib.c Florian src/hash.c Pablo src/iface.c Pablo src/json.c Phil + fixes from occasional contributors src/libnftables.c Eric Leblond and Phil src/mergesort.c Elise Lenion src/misspell.c Pablo src/mnl.c Pablo + fixes from occasional contributors src/monitor.c Arturo src/numgen.c Pablo src/osf.c Fernando src/owner.c Pablo src/parser_json.c Phil + fixes from occasional contributors src/print.c Phil src/xfrm.c Florian src/xt.c Pablo Eric Leblond and Elise Lennion did not attend NFWS 2022, but they acknowledged this license update already in the past when I proposed this to them in private emails. Update COPYING file too to refer that we are now moving towards GPLv2 or any later.
