1bbe5cf by Evan Huus (eapache@...):

    Add correct license headers for reedsolomon code.

    I got in contact with the original author (thanks to Didier for digging up his
    current email address) and verified that we could license this under the GPLv2+.

    Licensecheck finally passes!

Nice work ! ;-)
But there is no a new issue with epan/wslua/wslua_strict.c...

Using base directory: /home/wireshark/builders/trunk/ubuntu1204x64/build Checking: /home/wireshark/builders/trunk/ubuntu1204x64/build 'epan/wslua/wslua_struct.c' has non-whitelisted license 'UNKNOWN' FAILED

Ah, the email in the source file was dead so I gave up, but that looks
like the same person, I will try contacting him.

Thanks,
Evan
