Seen in AisleRiot (2.16.0), and confirmed in SameGNOME

AisleRiot 2.16.0

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.

Comment 1 Andreas Røsdal 2006-10-01 09:08:23 UTC
This has been fixed by showing a proper GPL2+ preamble with game name correctly for all games in the license dialog.
