Re: [GNUnet-developers] license clarification webui

[Christian Grothoff]

Dear Phil and Martin,

Prompted by Nils, I just looked at the WebUI code and there are more
issues.  First of all, it should really be under Affero GPL (after our
recent change), and should have been under GPL. I don't recall us
discussing the use of any other license, and I assume the "MIT" in the
top-level package description is simply an oversight.

Moreover, _every_ source file should have a header starting the license
(short version), not just the 'package.json'. This is not yet the case
in the gnunet-webui.git, so please change that.  You should be able to
copy the header used in the C source files of gnunet.git.


Thanks!

Christian
