[PATCH] test-lib.sh: Add explicit license detail, with change from GPLv2 to GPLv2+.

From: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>
Date: Feb 20, 2010, 19:55 UTC
Message-ID: <87eikfhec1.fsf@yoom.home.cworth.org>
In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.1.00.1002192204050.20986@pacific.mpi-cbg.de>

This file has had no explicit license information noted in it, but has clearly been created and modified according to the terms of GPLv2 as with the rest of the git code base.

The purpose of relicensing is to allow other GPLv3+ projects (in particular, the notmuch project: http://notmuchmail.org) to use this same test-suite structure (and to contribute changes back as well).

The request for relicensing was presented to the git community in:

	Message-ID: <871vgmki4f.fsf@steelpick.localdomain>

and explicitly agreed to by Junio C Hamano, Sverre Rabbelier, Johannes Schindelin, Pierre Habouzit, and Johannes Sixt. ---

Thanks Johannes,

Hopefully this does the trick. Otherwise, please let me know.
