Hi, we got requests to include your extension in ubuntu and while reviewing we found that you dont ship a license file in the .xpi file you distribute. If you could include that in next release it would help us a lot. You dont need to include the complete license, just the header you use in your code should be enough to satisfy our archive requirements. Thanks in advance, - Alexander
I think that is a good idea. How do other open source project handle this? Is the file really called License.txt, or rather LICENSE, or something else? I think, I'll release 1.2 within the next few weeks anyway, if nobody objects. I hope to have the license file included until then, please remind me in case i forgot. PS: Cool to see ubuntu trying to ship my extension, one more reason to finally dump gentoo (which is so broken recently) and install ubuntu (which i planned doing for months now). It maybe brings even more vimperator users, so I am very keen on getting the necessary changes done.
Added License.txt to CVS, hope it is good enough (personally i don't really care that much about licenses but I understand distros have to).
