Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi,

You have removed when copying two copyright headers:
* m4/magick_check_pthread_lib.m4 should have keep original header [1]. Note I believe this macro should be removed and replaced by modern http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-ar ... hread.html
* m4/magick_func_mmap_fileio.m4 should have keep original header from autoconf. I could not find the original file and the goal of this macro. Could you help here ?
* m4/framework.m4 no author no copyright. I could not find this file. It seems that you write this test If you put under all permissive license and document the purpose I could incorpore in autoconf archive and remove the burden of maintaining this file.

Fixed.

Clueless. This was contributed by a user 15 years ago and we have no idea of its origin.

* m4/framework.m4 no author no copyright. I could not find this file. It seems that you write this test If you put under all permissive license and document the purpose I could incorpore in autoconf archive and remove the burden of maintaining this file.

See http://svn.saurik.com/repos/cycript/trunk/framework.m4. The project includes the GNU Lesser license. Is the Lesser license incompatible with Apache 2.0 license? If so, we'll need to remove framework.m4 from the ImageMagick project.

AC_FUNC_MMAP in recent autoconf do the same thing and is better from an implementation point of view and tracking copyright.

It is compatible but I believe you should add LGPL header to the m4 file and source. I believe we could rewrite it using other macro from autoconf archive but it is not serious

Problems resolved in the Subversion trunk. Thanks.

I have a patch send to usual address to remove one of the m4 file.
