Hi Daniel,

a bad copyright line slipped into coreutils.git during the SELinux commits:

  $ make update-copyright
    GEN      update-copyright
  src/selinux.c: warning: copyright statement not found
  src/selinux.h: warning: copyright statement not found

These sources should not be copyrighted to Red Hat:

  for f in src/selinux.{c,h} ; do head -n 2 $f | tail -n1 ; done

I wonder why we don't have a syntax-check rule for this yet ...

I'm not good in such law things, so I would assume you as
the author are the only one who could re-license it by sending
us a patch with with the correct line like ...

Thanks & have a nice day,
Berny
