Speaking of content. It seems the copyright headers I'm using in
Killbots have a non-standard last paragraph. Looking around it seems
that some files use:
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA
02110-1301 USA
while others use:
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
In Killbots I ended up with a merged version:
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses>
or write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street,
Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA.
I don't think I made this up myself, but I can't find where I borrowed
it from originally.
Is this kind of deviation a reason for concern?
