Dear Maintainer,

according to debian/copyright all files are licensed under LGPL2+.
The file samples/bonoboui/hello.c and several files in tools/browser/ are 
licensed under GPL2+ and are not mentioned in debian/copyright.

<nitpick mode>
Most of the language files have a line saying something like "This file is 
distributed under the same license as the libbonoboui package.", which is 
fine. Some files like az.po, bg.po ... don't have such a line. How do you 
know their license?

Maybe this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything in the 
archive. The file bonobo/bonobo-ally.c and .h are copyrighted by Sun 
Microsystems. Are you sure they publish something under the LGPL? I would 
rather expect SPL or CDDL ...
</nitpick mode>


Thanks!
   Thorsten
