Comment (by hinder):
From a private email discussion amongst a few of us back in March 2014, Erik said that the flesh and the Cactus thorns are LGPL, and this was changed from the "Cactus GPL+linking exception" to clarify the situation. Maybe this change did not get properly implemented in all the COPYRIGHT files.
The source files do not contain individual copyright notices (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html).
Many Cactus READMEs claim LGPL, which results from a batch addition of the licence by Frank Löffler on 27-Jan-2009.
{{{ arrangements $ grep -ih "Licence" Cactus*/*/README|sort -u Licence : GPL Licence : GPLv2+ Licence : LGPL }}}
There are 88 READMEs claiming a licence. 9 of them are GPL, 78 of them are LGPL, and 1 of them is GPLv2+.
Erik referred in his email to a "current agreement amongst the maintainers" regarding the licencing. Does anyone know if this is written down somewhere, and if not, should we do so?
