Forwarded from: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-games/+bug/62398 Seen in AisleRiot (2.16.0), and confirmed in SameGNOME AisleRiot 2.16.0 Help ->About AisleRiot License tab contains the text "GPL 2+" (only) rather than any preamble or sentence or anything. I presume a boilerplate is due to be added there but has been missed. gnome-games source -> aisleriot -> menu.c (line 135) == "license", "GPL 2+", probably a link to the GPL 2+ license would suffice here (upstream?) Everyone of the applications in the gnome-games has the same license info. The license info is in there, as it relates to GPL2+. Instead of rejecting this, I am going to wishlist it. I agree a little more info other than GPL2+ would be helpful, not everyone knows what that means I guess. daniel@bert:~/gnome-games-2.16.0$ fgrep "GPL 2+" -r * aisleriot/menu.c: "license", "GPL 2+", blackjack/src/menu.cpp: "license", "GPL 2+", gataxx/gataxx.c: "license", "GPL 2+", glines/glines.c: "license", "GPL 2+", gnect/src/main.c: "license", "GPL 2+", gnibbles/main.c: "license", "GPL 2+", gnobots2/menu.c: "license", "GPL 2+", gnometris/tetris.cpp: "license", "GPL 2+", gnomine/gnomine.c: "license", "GPL 2+", gnotravex/gnotravex.c: "license", "GPL 2+", gnotski/gnotski.c: "license", "GPL 2+", gtali/gyahtzee.c: "license", "GPL 2+", iagno/gnothello.c: "license", "GPL 2+", mahjongg/mahjongg.c: "license", "GPL 2+", same-gnome/ui.c: "license", "GPL 2+", daniel@bert:~/gnome-games-2.16.0$
This has been fixed by showing a proper GPL2+ preamble with game name correctly for all games in the license dialog.
