Basic Infos

Queue.h is copied from *BSD, without proper copyright information.

Description

Your licence does not mention where the queue code is copied from, although it is required by BSD licences. You cannot just copy others code and re-licence it. The queue macros are clearly copied from some BSD based distro.

BSD licences:

  1. Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.
  2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.

Solve

Either:

  1. Add proper copyright/licencing information.
  2. Remove the queue.h code.
