The purpose of this audit is to examine each of Xfce's components COPYING files. This is the standard location where the license boilerplate is stored. Next, the headers in the source of each component is examined. The purpose of this is to verify that there is a consistent application of license boilerplate. That is to ensure that there is a uniformity between what the component claims its license is (e.g. its COPYING file) and what license the component actually uses (e.g. the headers in the source code).

1. Read through COPYING files and note license identity - COMPLETED 20210421
2. Examine headers and confirm consistency - IN PROGRESS (Note: This is a spot check of 4-6 randomly selected files. If any single file does not match, the 3rd column will be marked NO)
