From b304d89e36711d7e10ae04b29fa8b3f8aa3f0591 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wm4 Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2017 11:43:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Copyright: list specific exceptions to stated rules The "Files without Copyright notice are licensed as LGPLv2.1+." statement makes it sound like the manpage and some other stuff are LGPL. But the rule actually affects only some source files that were added in mpv. Change the wording, and also explicitly list the licenses for some non source files.
