I've added some more users which are part of the organization and should - if they have thoughts on this respond. |
I am not a lawyer and I hope we never have to test the changes, to be honest. I've also not checked the signing isn't broken... @ann0see -- I'd need to merge this on your tree, I think, before the Auto-Build there will do the signing. Is there any other way? |
Feel free to push it even as the latest release. The repo is safe to experiment with and nobody should be using the binaries from there anyway (except for us copying the signed build) |

"licenced" should be "licensed", as it is on the previous line already.
UK English: noun = "licence", verb = "license / licensed / licensing"
US English: noun = "license", verb = same as UK.
This should be corrected in all the header blocks and also in a couple of places in util.cpp (lines 402 and 1587)

Is there a reason we need to have both sections, one for AGPL3+ and one for GPL3+? Even if both licences need to be mentioned explicitly (if so, why?), couldn't we refactor to eliminate duplication, e.g. with the disclaimer paragraph, at least?
What about for new files?
