Dear Mats, the amsn project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/amsn/) is currently checking the license status of all the files they use.

The problem is that the file, e.g. http://quicktimetcl.cvs.sourceforge.net/quicktimetcl/quicktimetcl/movie.tcl?view=markup contains the lines: # Copyright (c) 2004 Mats Bengtsson # # See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution # of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. However, there is not "license.terms" in the quicktimetcl project. README says that the complete thing is under the BSD license, which would be fine. But it would be nice if you could indicate more clearly that this also covers movie.tcl. I guess it's best if you include a list of all files (the FSF people call it "MANIFEST") and update that list whenever a file is added. As a sidenote, the license page that README refers to, http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license, only contains a template, with empty fields for YEAR, OWNER (in the copyright lines) and, in particular, ORGANIZATION in the license text. You should probably copy that template and replace ORGANIZATION by "QuickTimeTcl project" or something similar. Or else use http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.html Which is essentially the same without the "Neither the name of the <ORGANIZATION> nor the names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote..." clause of the BSD license.
