[Qgis-developer] license issues

[Werner Macho]

Dear developers,

A long outstanding issue is (which is probably preventing QGIS from
being integrated into the "main" debian repository and the fedora
repository) that there are a lot of files inside our source tree that
have no or an unknown license with no copyright and so on ..

I took the freedom to make a short list and sort out all file which
have no license header ..

All in all I found 516 files without any license!
And bad news for Victor and sextante - 275 of them are in the sextante
subdirectories ;)

I encourage and kindly ask all developers who committed this files to
add a proper header to those files to get a bit closer of being
adopted into the main repositories of the big Linux distributions (not
to forget that having a copyright and license in the files is anyway a
good thing to have)

Find attached the list of the files (or if it does not go through the
server you can find the file in [1])

If you need any help drop me a note
thanks for your help

kind regards
Werner
