Hello,
lots of files in the iptables tree are missing the GPL header but contain copyright messages.
Thanks,
Thomas

I don't speak authoritatively, but the Linux kernel also has some files
- usually those dating back to the initial years of Linux - that have no
GPL header either, and everybody seems to be fine with that. See
kernel/exit.c.

Yeah, the COPYING file states GPL-2, that applies to all files which
don't carry a seperate copyright statement.
