#83 osutil: fix the copyright of src/com/netscape/osutil/unixdefs.h
Closed: Fixed None Opened 12 years ago by tjaalton.

The copyright header of src/com/netscape/osutil/unixdefs.h is apparently outdated, since it essentially prohibits redistribution. This should be fixed.


The following email was submitted to 'pki-devel@redhat.com' on February 2, 2012:

NOTE: I have made this change directly to my local "master", and if it is found to be okay, I will
commit and push it. Since this is a comment added to the source code, I believe that no change
should be made to the 'osutil.spec' file since this information would be shipped as a part of
the osutil RPM. Additionally, this information only exists as a part of this TRAC ticket
(no separate Bugzilla was filed as this will ONLY be fixed on the "master").
