Don't know... I just ran the default for the inspect tool which does all the checks. You tell me; Should I filter that out?
OK, taking to myself ;-) I ran it again without that check. I guess that since we are unlikely to go change >3900 files in a few days it's pointless even if it was a requirement.
We've never enforced that every last file contain licensing information -- particularly the documentation and Jamfiles. By my eye this is the majority of the problems.
I'm much more worried about the tabs and file lengths. I believe 31 chars is the maximum allowed on CD-ROMs and MAC platforms. And, of course, tabs are evil...
So if we wanted to filter down the report I suggest we throw out all the licensing issues...
I respectfully disagree. Improving our licensing consistency is an important goal for Boost, and leaving off licenses/copyrights is a real barrier to adoption. Let's not allow it to get worse, at least. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
