COPYING.LIB vs COPYING.LESSER


From: Simon Ward
Subject: COPYING.LIB vs COPYING.LESSER
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:57:53 +0100
User-agent: Mutt/1.5.18 (2008-05-17)

The GPL Howto and the maintain manual both suggest use of COPYING.LESSER
in a project for software licensed under the LGPL, while the GNU Coding
Standards states in section 7.3 that it should be in a file called
COPYING.LIB.  Suggest changing this to COPYING.LESSER in line with the
other documents and to reflect the name change from GNU Library GPL to
GNU Lesser GPL.  (Very small ☺) patch attached.
