Description Vincent Untz 2010-12-06 15:06:04 UTC 
These files were found licensed under the GPLv3+

plugins/housekeeping/gsd-ldsm-dialog.c
plugins/housekeeping/gsd-ldsm-dialog.h
plugins/housekeeping/gsd-ldsm-trash-empty.c
plugins/housekeeping/gsd-ldsm-trash-empty.h

My guess is that it's a mistake and the license header should be fixed. Is this
right?

Chris wrote that code. Chris?
Comment 2 Chris Coulson 2011-03-11 21:45:15 UTC 
Yes, that is a mistake, I'm not sure why I added GPLv3+ to the license header, but it certainly wasn't deliberate.

    housekeeping: Clarify license of a few files
    
    Those files are under the GPLv2+, just like the rest of
    gnome-settings-daemon.
    
    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636602

Those 2 files:
plugins/housekeeping/gsd-ldsm-trash-empty.c
plugins/housekeeping/gsd-ldsm-trash-empty.h
are gone now that we use nautilus via D-Bus to empty the trash.
