Hi Malte et al.
First things first: there is no need to have everything FLOW3 being
released as LGPL. Your packages can be GPL as well.
Thus, after looking at r1743 (Adjustment of Check for Copyright.
Checking for new copyright header) I think the checks need to allow for
more flexible checking.
* The header comment only reads "This script belongs to the FLOW3
framework." for the FLOW3 package itself. Other packages differ in that
line.
* The license may be GPL as well, probably even other (L)GPL compatible
licenses, or (for things being developed commercially) even something
completely different.
* The @license annotation is a must, though, and should be consistent
within a package.
Maybe the expected license and package key can be given to the tool, so
it can adjust the checks based on that.
Give that a thought.
Regards,
Karsten
