Subject: License Notice for ELPA packages
Date: Thu, 05 Sep 2024 21:41:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m25xr9sxaj.fsf@macmutant.fritz.box> (raw)

Hi all,

I'm about to update the license notice header for files distributed with
AUCTeX and wanted to ask if there is a preferred one for ELPA package.
I've seen several versions compared to this[1]:

• vertico.el says it is part of GNU Emacs, and then uses the license for
  small programs[2].

• pulsar.el says it is NOT part of GNU Emacs with the part for small
  programs[3].

• svg-lib.el is also NOT part of GNU Emacs, but uses a diffent last
  paragraph than in [1,4].

• pinentry.el says it is part of GNU Emacs, talks also about GNU Emacs
  in other places as well[5].

Where to go?

Best, Arash
