[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#807580: [jstjohn/KentLib] Four files do contain old licensing statement (#2)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Jim,

you probably remember my constant nagging abou the licensing of your
library code.  Inside the bug report in Debian BTS[1] you mentioned MPL
yourself.  Since I did not received any definitive answer stronger than

   "looking at Mozilla Public LIcense, ... I can release it under
    that as well."

I was searching the web for potential new releases of the code.  I found
something at Github which has only four files left with a non-free
license and I mentioned this in the according bug report there[2].  From
what I can see when inspecting the whole directory it looks pretty much
like an unwanted leftover since all other files have later copyright and
a free license.

It would be really great if you could clarify this.

Thanks a lot for your cooperation

        Andreas.

This is not my code, so I am not sure what was intended between the conflicting statement in the README that was part of the Kent source tree at the time, and header comments in the individual libraries you mentioned.
