From 3eab18e04c1f06a8b3d69bcf5059f089da02b1da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "W. Trevor King" Date: Wed, 27 Dec 2017 12:16:48 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] GPL-family: Drop redundant release-date/version The XSD suggests (buggily) that we only want a single element (more details on this in the previous commit). And the information contained in the sections I'm removing is redundant, because: * Licenses with a release date in their entry had that same release date in the license title. I don't see a need to include that release date as unstrucutured information in two places, and the license title is clearly the more important location. * Whether the license is only or or-later is covered explicitly in the long name and implicitly in the new deprecation notice (e.g. as added in 55b6fc4b, Update comments to reflect the new GPL license ID's, 2017-12-23, #552). Once we get explicit obsoleted-by markup [1], those deprecation notices will become machine readable. So I don't think we need to call out the versioning again in the notes.
