GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 164191
autogen.sh erroneously changes COPYING from LGPL to GPL whenever it is run

The source code comment headers seem to suggest the license is LGPL, but COPYING contains GPL. This should be fixed.
The COPYING file contains the LGPL. Where did you find the GPL? In a released version or in CVS?
In CVS. Hm... looking back I suspect it is autogen.sh's doing. It seems to overwrite COPYING with GPL every time :| Yeah, that must be it.. sorry.
Oh! So that's why there were all these spurious changes to COPYING that I kept seeing. That didn't use to happen...
