I was just poking around on LXR, and I discovered a very serious issue: In multiple places in the LEGAL file, there are excess spaces! Not just the occasional second space between sentences, but two spaces between words in the same sentence!

This is extremely unprofessional and must be fixed immediately. I cannot believe how such a serious problem could remain unnoticed for seven years*.

Reproducible: Always




Patch following in a second. Hope it's in the proper format.

* If it has been noticed but the bug has not been fixed, I apologize for filing a duplicate, but I'm not about to read the whole Bugzilla database.

Also, I'm unsure if mozilla.org :: Licensing is where it belongs, but it was suggested to me and there doesn't seem to be anything better for a file that doesn't belong to a specific area of the code.

I also took the liberty of changing "Videotext" to "Videotex", because I think that is how it should be, and adjusting the wrapping.

Just for clarification, Peng is being very sarcastic in his comment. :)

You sure about that? ;)


Should "--See Claims" be changed to "-- See Claims"?
