Description Matthias Clasen 2007-08-07 15:58:42 UTC 
gnome-terminal states that it is GPL, and COPYING is the GPL,
but every single source file seems to have a LGPL header.

        Bug 464410 – license confusion

        "gnome-terminal states that it is GPL, and COPYING is the GPL,
        but every single source file seems to have a LGPL header."

        Replace LPGL header with GPL header.
        Note that LPGL allows conversion to GPL, so this change is legal
        anyway.
