Description
There are 248 files missing copyright and licensing information in the current svn trunk.
There are 2 files with incorrect FSF address
There are 20 files licensed under GNU GPL v2 or later.
There are 27 files licensed under GNU GPL v2 only.
Please apply correct copyright and license to your source code and please make point releases preferably of all previous releases and especially:
v 1.5.11 (before 25th of February - 4 days before Jaunty feature freeze)
v 1.5.9 (well before Lenny release)
I encourage you to protect your work !!!
Missing licensing information is a Debian Free Software Guidelines violation and it can prevent your software from being released in the upcoming Lenny and Ubuntu releases.

Is it possible to attach files? So that I can attach the list of files up here?
licensecheck was used to generate lists this during recent packaging activity.
