What files? xml's? or the files inside glue directories?

The files inside glue directories doesn't have license headers to avoid the
generation of ugly/illegible source codes, so if a file doesn't have a license
header, consider the /COPYING file as the license file.

Yes, I was talking about the *_conversion.h files and the.cpp files in glue
directories. I'm packaging pyside for inclusion in Fedora and the question
popped up during the new package review. apiextractor, generatorrunner, and
shiboken are already in and python-pyside is being reviewed:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623425

Fair enough; if these files end up in other generated files it would look messy
indeed. Besides /COPYING file, does the text in PySide/licensecomment.txt also
apply to the .h and .cpp files in PySide directory? Looks like it's standard
LGPLv2, as opposed to the LGPLv2 with exceptions that is used in libpyside.

I added Matti to the cc list, he can help with this license questions more than
me.

Kalev, thanks for bringing the license issue up and Hugo, thanks for giving me
a heads-up. And both, sorry for me answering so late. :-)

I guess there ought to be a separate readme/license file in PySide/ explaining
the lack of license boilerplates in the different files. Then again, the
typesystem files are arguably the most authoritative source for our bindings
(in addition to the glue code, of course), and it wouldn't be much of an issue
to include license boilerplates there.

Incidentally, the libshiboken and libpyside licenses are erroneous: they're
supposed to be plain LGPLv2.1 as well. Although not in the scope of this bug,
we'll begin fixing that too. I'll make a separate note of the issue on the
mailing list to keep all the distro packagers aware of the change.

Fixed in the following commits in PySide:
