Comparing some of the license headers, I found that some modules are using a
comma or
a semicolon in the 3rd line of the text:
$ ~/gnulib> GIT_PAGER= git grep -B2 -A1 'either version' -- doc/gpl-3.0.texi
doc/gpl-3.0.texi-This program is free software: you can redistribute it
and/or modify
doc/gpl-3.0.texi-it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
published by
doc/gpl-3.0.texi:the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the
License, or (at
doc/gpl-3.0.texi-your option) any later version.
Here are some numbers:
$ for f in coreutils findutils grep gnulib hello sed; do \
printf '%10s: %4d %4d\n' $f \
$( git -C $f grep 'the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of
the License' | wc -l ) \
$( git -C $f grep 'the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of
the License' | wc -l ); \
done
coreutils: 778 8
findutils: 94 2
grep: 43 1
gnulib: 47 1905
hello: 4 2
sed: 82 1
Shouldn't we change all to ',' - as in 'gpl-3.0.texi'?
Have a nice day,
Berny
