the package script at drupal.org automatically includes a LICENSE.txt when packaging your modules. As explained in the CVS guidelines, it is not necessary to add a LICENSE.txt to CVS. It just takes up disk space, and more importantly, bandwidth. Please remove LICENSE.txt files from your contributed projects. Thanks. From a legal perspective, this seems wrong. The implication is that the license only applies to the packaged bundles, and not to source code downloaded directly from CVS.
* There is a license file in the root of the contributions repository. (Yes, you can checkout modules on their own, or files on their own but that is not what 95% of the Drupal users do.) * Having to add a copyright notice to each file sucks in dynamically interpreted languages. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
