We should fix this one=20 way or another. The following image file is used in the GNUstep port: * nextstep/GNUstep/Emacs.base/Resources/emacs.tiff says 'Copyright (c)=20 1998 Hewlett-Packard Company' with no permissions notice. Is this=20 because that TIFF file was created by a tool that inserts that copyright=20 notice into the image file for some reason? If so, what's the reason?=20 Can we use a different tool to create a TIFF-format image that doesn't=20 have this copyright issue? I'll CC: Adrian Robert about this, as he=20 added that file on 2008-07-15. The following files were added by Eli on 2015-05-12, as part of a test=20 suite for etags. As these are just for testing Emacs, presumably it=20 shouldn't be much trouble to remove them if there are real copyright=20 issues here: * test/manual/etags/lua-src/allegro.lua says '-- Copyright (C) 2001-2004=20 by David A. Capello' and 'Read "LEGAL.txt" for more information.' but=20 there is no LEGAL.txt. * test/manual/etags/prol-src/natded.prolog says 'Copyright 1995, Bob=20 Carpenter' with no permissions notice. * test/manual/etags/prol-src/ordsets.prolog says 'Copyright(C) 1988,=20 Swedish Institute of Computer Science' with no permissions otice. * test/manual/etags/ps-src/rfc1245.ps says 'Copyright (c) 1986,87,89 by=20 Frame Technology, Inc.=C2=A0 All rights reserved.' with no permissions no= tice.
