The CVS for this project contains some non-GPL documents. I specifically noticed the SCORM 2004 3Ed report, which is labeled "(c) 2006 Advanced Distributed Learning. All Rights Reserved."
The document is "dead" (Attic), so not distributed with releases, but still available from CVS, and it seems it should be removed. There might be other components, but I only noticed that one.

Comment #1
avpadernoWhen a file is reported to be dead, it means it was present in the repository, but it has been removed.
Comment #2
fgmThe thing is, it /is/ still present, you can download it here: http://drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/contributions/modules/scorm/docs/SCO...
So it has not been actually removed, just hidden.
Comment #3
avpadernoI have removed the files that were still present in the branch for Drupal 6 (commit #392974).
It's not a practical possibility to remove the commit history from our version control system. Doing so incorrectly can cause damage.
Comment #4
fgmThen it's probably something that needs to be considered when preparing the Git migration.
That's the reason why I'm resettting the status: since the file is still there, we are still distributing the file in violation of the owner's rights; and such cases need to be considered when preparing the migration; especially as they will likely be more complicated to deal with with Git and it's whole subtree management, than with CVS, which does not really care if you remove RCS files anyway.
Issue should probably reassigned, then, but I have not found the proper component for the Git work.
Comment #5
avpadernoThat is not exact; removed files are not used from the packaging script, for the fact files have been removed from the repository. It's incorrect to say files are still distributed because that is not the case.
