Thanks!

The images are auto-generated by GTK-DOC too.  Looking at the GTK-DOC package, it is not that clear what license they are under.  They use GPLv3+ for the tools and GFDL for some things.  It is likely a problem in GTK-DOC...

Oh, didn't know the docs were autogenerated. I approve your project now. But please remember to deal with the images as well. (I don't think they are autogenerated.)





I've approved your project--welcome on board! :-)

You'll receive a mail notification with further instructions shortly.

Happy hacking!

Hi!

Do you refer to the auto-generated gtk-doc stuff?  I have added a paragraph in it now explaining that it is all auto-generated from the source code (which is LGPLv2.1+) and also added a pointer to the COPYING file.

link-warning.h is copied from gnulib (already hosted on savannah), I've asked them to add a license header to it, and temporarily added a LGPLv2.1+ header to it in the hotp-toolkit package.

I believe the Makefile.in copyright/license is typical and intentional: it combines one part (Makefile.am from me) with another part (from automake) to generate Makefile.in.  Each part has its own licensing information.  I don't see any way to de-confuse that situation without losing important legal information?

Thanks,
/Simon

Hi Simon,

please accompany the files in the documentation directory with some information about which license there are under. For example, a readme file where you say who is the copyright bearer of the files and which kind of license there are subject to. Especially for the images.

link-warning.h could also use an license&copyright notice.
The Makefile.in in libhotp has two different license texts. Not a legal problem, just a bit confusing.
