Description Emilio Pozuelo Monfort 2010-12-15 15:48:36 UTC 
We don't need to set the license text anymore, we can tell the about dialog the license.
Comment 1 Emilio Pozuelo Monfort 2010-12-15 15:50:42 UTC 
The problem with this is that it won't show the actual license, but just a disclaimer and a link to the license in gnu.org. We can't tell it we're GPLv2+ instead of GPLv2 either. That's all reported in bug 627644, so blocking on that one.

++
Comment 4 Emilio Pozuelo Monfort 2010-12-16 12:11:35 UTC 
Shouldn't we wait for the gtk+ bug to be fixed before pushing my changes? Right now the about dialog would show something like:

This program coes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details visit www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html

instead of the current GPLv2+ header.
Comment 5 Guillaume Desmottes 2010-12-17 08:29:32 UTC 
Yeah merged once it's fixed.
Comment 6 Guillaume Desmottes 2014-02-03 10:56:45 UTC 
merged to master; thanks!
