Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.26
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/licensecheck

Hi,

I have the following license header in a file in one of my packages:

/* The ctok object (implements a config file tokenizer).
 *
 * Copyright 2008 Rainer Gerhards and Adiscon GmbH.
 *
 * This file is part of the rsyslog runtime library.

 */


Running licensecheck ctok.h yields
ctok.h: UNKNOWN

I don't see an error in the license header, it is written as proposed by
 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html

So I guess this is a bug in licensecheck.

Cheers,
Michael
