BK MetaData License Problem?
The file must be available for free, seperately if its not poss to include it, the source must say its a GPL, thats about it.
Cheers, Dean McEwan. Currently hacking KGI, which I don't understand, oh and ask me about OpenModemTalk...

until now the Linux kernel tree was distributed in a tarball that had a nice COPYING file in a very prominent spot. With BK the situation is different - and like i said in previous mails it's not BK's "fault", but BK's "effect" - and it's a situation that needs to be remedied, right?
Strictly speaking, isn't it a violation of the GPL for somebody to distribute a single file of any GPLed project, without attaching the COPYING file to it?
E.G. say somebody makes a CVS tree available via the web - you can download foobar.c without ever seeing the COPYING file.
