Greetings,
I was not aware the code was published On GitHub either by the Bochum group.
The license and copyright is not lost in my copy, it in put into one file called license.txt,
https://github.com/mckunkel/QFactor/blob/master/License.txt,
which is legally sufficient.
It was redundant to scroll through every file with a license header.
No one here is taking credit for others work as I am promoting the package, not claiming it. I am only try to improve in the package and help this community.

Dear Michael,
sorry for discussing again the procedure how to publish the software code. According to the GPLv3 license it is definitely not allowed to remove any text of the copyright and license header written by the original author in the individual files. The relevant part in the GPLv3 license document contains paragraph 4, namely:
Quote:
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. ...
And on http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html
Quote:
... Whichever license you plan to use, the process involves adding two elements to each source file of your program: a copyright notice (such as "Copyright 1999 Terry Jones"), and a statement of copying permission, saying that the program is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (or the Lesser GPL). ...
Therefore we would kindly like to ask you to add again the original header into each file.
BTW: Julian has now sent you an email concerning the discussion about specific items of the q-weight method and in particular concerning the error propagation. This is of course a more useful discussion.
Again, many thanks and with best regards,
Bertram and Julian

Greetings,
Many thanks for showing my point.
Section 4 does not apply in this case because I am not keeping a verbatim copy. The keyword is verbatim which by definition means Quote: in exactly the same words as were used originally
Since I have not only modified it, I have also added the very much needed error propagation, something the original code lacked.
Therefore the terms of the license from Quote: 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions apply here, in which it states
Quote: b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to "keep intact all notices".
Please keep in mind that I am only trying to help you understand, but moreover if you want to continue this useless banter, please call me 2461 61 3232. I feel this could be more beneficial from verbal communication .
