Hi,

is it really different text, or just different line wrapping?
How does it compare to Wayland source file licenses?

IIRC Weston does have some files with a different line wrapping but the
text should be identical across all files in a repository.

It's possible some files migrated before the license texts were
unified. I think it would be good to unify the remaining ones if there
are any.


Thanks,
