Re: test modules and license

Meanwhile, I'd like to ask about this unchanged sentence:

    The source files always say "GPL", but the real license
    specification is in the module description file.

I don't understand.  Legally, what counts is the license in the actual
source file.  You can't point to some other file and say "but it says
LGPL there so it's really LGPL".

I remember previous discussions about this, and that we were taking
advantage of the LGPL->GPL upgrade in places, I think.  But I don't
remember anything like the above.

Can someone tell me an example, so I can understand better?

Thanks,
k
