Hi,

Would like to report a typo in the lib/full-read.h license notice, as found in:

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.23.tar.xz

The license notice contains "if not, read to the Free Software Foundation". The word "read" here should be "write".

Date: Sat, 07 Feb 2015 15:20:00 -0800 User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/31.4.0 Thanks for reporting that problem. I fixed it by installing the attached patch into gnulib; this should eventually percolate into the next coreutils release.

I guess an old s/write/read/ substitution bled into the copyright notice, and when we updated notices to point to www.gnu.org we didn't catch the bug.
