IANAL so I can not judge if those "tags" would overrule the general
COPYING file that mentioned the GPL, or if the COPYING (and also the
license information of the website, which is now updated btw) would
overrule those tags.
If a license was included for the whole package, without mentioned
exceptions, these copyright statements won't change that. Copyright
and license are in fact different things.
Of course they could just have removed those tags and have the GPL
"take
over" via the COPYING file. But they didn't and until now they didn't
really give an explanation why they didn't, the answer to that question
was;
In fact, IMHO you better should put such copyright statements in every
file, to protect it as much as possible. That you then license
everything under the GPL is fine.
- The community ask for this (i do not mean the community you
see here on the list - but you maybe can imagine that there
are other communities behind Open-Xchange - not visible on the
very first view)
They probably mean the commercial user community?
