[Evolution-hackers] Copyright of Camel's individual source files

[Philip Van Hoof <spam pvanhoof be>]

Hi there,

The README.COPYRIGHT of EDS's Camel states:

 * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or 
 * modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as 
 * published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the
 * License, or (at your option) any later version.

Whereas a lot of files (like, camel-address.c, to pick one example) state:

 * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
 * modify it under the terms of version 2 of the GNU Lesser General Public
 * License as published by the Free Software Foundation.

It looks like EDS's COPYING file also uses the "any later version"
version of the GPL v2.

I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to have mixed licenses for one
piece of code (being Camel). Would it be possible to change the license
of all of EDS's files to be the same?

Note that Novell/Ximian seems to be the copyright holder of all files,
that of course means this organisation makes this decision.


Thanks!
