#487 Ambiguous license in test/test_utils/test_math/test__init__.py

[Dmitry Shachnev]

Dear Günter,

The header of this file says:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# :Copyright: © 2024 Günter Milde.

#             Released without warranty under the terms of the
#             GNU General Public License (v. 2 or later)

# :License: Released under the terms of the `2-Clause BSD license`_, in short:
#
#    Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification,
#    are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright
#    notice and this notice are preserved.
#    This file is offered as-is, without any warranty.
#
# .. _2-Clause BSD license: https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause

So it mentions both GPL and BSD license.

Do both licenses really apply, and if not, can the extra one be removed?

[Günter Milde]

Thank you for the report.
This was an oversight after creating the test script from a template.
In the repository, the GPL is removed for better consistency with the rest of Docutils.
For Docutils 0.21, …, 0.21.2, both licenses are applicable.

Fixed in [r9656]

[Günter Milde]

With the declaration in the comment above and the fix in [r9656], this issue should be resolved.
