I have the same question. I'm doing a merge review of ypbind and it
has:
The ypbind-mt are free software; you can redistribute it and/or
modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2
as published by the Free Software Foundation.
in some of the source code, but also:
<!-- ypbind\-mt 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. -->
in the docbook manpage. So what statement do we trust? They both
make blanket statements about the entire program.
The fun is just beginning, I think; we're trying to be correct in a
way that most upstreams aren't.
