 Says nothing about copyright? Well, it's just the copyright statemnet.
 Maybe you can explain what exactly you want to say... .

 > So, if there is something that needs correction there, it is the
 heading.  It should be “Licence”, not “Copyright”.
 Sorry to attack you that much, but please do your homework in the
 copyright/licensing class.

 Thanks for documenting it here. You could just have quoted the last
 sentence in full as well (it does not even contain a link to the file).
 You didn't, so I do it for the intent reader:

 > b2 is released under the GPL (see license.txt).

 Enjoy the raw words. Can you tell me of what Wordpress forked from? Westi
 or so named that word by word ... .
