Follow-up Comment #8, task #16666 (group administration):
> This is right, and we are on a higher level now---what year and what name > should be listed? According to [https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html]: "Copyright (C) year1, year2, year3 copyright-holder" Notice the capital C, I had a lowercase c. Done. I checked every file to see which year I updated them, and added those year numbers. Done And for the copyright-holder, the gnu link says "you should know who is the copyright holder for your package.". So it must be me, and Nicolas Dato is my name. If "Dato" is confusing, Dato is my real surname. In spanish it means "data" and that's just a coincidence. It happens from time to time that someone thinks I'm saying "data" like "here is my data: Nicolas" and I have to explain that that's my surname. I didn't copy source code from anywhere. I didn't use any LLM neither. If I am violating someone else's copyright please let me know, I don't want to do that. > One posibility I can see is that the developers distribute the package under > the GPLv2 and allow other people use it under later versions; but one should > ask the developers to be sure. Just to be clear, I'm not distributing valgrind. If it is found already installed in the system, then make check uses valgrind. However, I think valgrind works by linking the program to valgrind's own libraries. I know this is an important topic in the GPL and one reason for the LGPL, isn't it? How does this affect running a test with valgrind if valgrind is already installed? Can we use valgrind to run a test that has the Expat license? Is that legal? Now, out of topic, but as we are talking about this. Can we use valgrind against a proprietary software? > The point is, if people combine software under these licenses, then the GPL > is what they have to follow. Thanks for all the explanation, it's good to know! You can still use the same link to download the tar.
