As part of our packaging process, we try to identify the license the package is released under, and keep track of a hash of the license information. Most commonly we use the COPYING file included with the sources. In the case of sgml-common-0.6.3.tgz, the COPYING file is a symlink to /usr/share/automake/COPYING (likewise for the INSTALL document). I could not find anything else in the tarball that would serve to represent its software license. I realize this tarball was created way back in 2001, but if there is a future version of it, including a real text file would be quite helpful. Thanks, Scott Garman -- Scott Garman Embedded Linux Distro Engineer - Yocto Project Intel Open Source Technology Center
