Severity: serious

(This is "serious" only in the sense that it is the kind of thing that
should be sorted out before a release.)

Some CEDET copyright issues:

cedet/semantic/grammar.el:

semantic-grammar-header-template says "this file is not part of GNU
Emacs", and uses GPLv2. I don't know what this is used for, so I don't
know whether it is appropriate to change either or both of these.
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-09/msg00843.html)


etc/srecode/default.srt:

This also still uses GPLv2 in its template COPYRIGHT. Again, I don't
know what it is for.


test/cedet:

Many of the files in here have no author, copyright, or license
information.

ede-tests.el
srecode-tests.el

and lots of the files in tests/ (many may not be copyrightable, but we
usually at least have a README).

The only remaining issue is the test/cedet/tests/ directory.

EML says:

    Many of the test files are just scratch files where I put random
    code snippets for manual testing.

    All the test files in semantic/tests that are part of the
    automated suite are referred to in semantic/semantic-ia-utest.el,
    semantic-lex-spp.el, and semantic-utest-c.el.

This is:

semantic-ia-utest.el:
    "tests/testdoublens.cpp"
    "tests/testsubclass.cpp"
    "tests/testtypedefs.cpp"
    "tests/teststruct.cpp"
    "tests/testtemplates.cpp"
    "tests/testfriends.cpp"
    "tests/testusing.cpp"
    "tests/testnsp.cpp"
    "tests/testsppcomplete.c"
    "tests/testvarnames.c"
    "tests/testjavacomp.java"

semantic-utest-c.el:
    "testsppreplace.c" . "testsppreplaced.c"

lex-spp.el:
     nothing?

I have removed some of the files for which provenance is uncertain.  For
those clearly written by Eric (after checking the CEDET CVS logs), I
have added a copyright header.

There are now only three files that do not have a copyright header:

  testfriends.cpp
  testnsp.cpp
  testsppcomplete.c

These are all very short snippets, and I do not think we need to worry
about these.  Adding a copyright header would double the length of each
of these files.

In any case, the test/ directory is not distributed with the tarball, so
I would not consider this bug a blocker for the 23.2 release.
