Re: Plugin development licensing

Hello,

Has there been any updates on this issue?
>From what I can tell, there is still a discrepancy between the 389-ds FAQ (which mentions the plugin license exception) and the actual 389-ds license.
I'd like to know if reinstating the license exception is still on the cards, or if we should prepare our plugins to be released under GPLv3.

Regards,
Vincent Duvert

Hello,

I have a question regarding the licensing of developed 389-ds plugins.

The FAQ
(https://directory.fedoraproject.org/docs/389ds/FAQ/licensing.html#directory-server-plugin-licensing)
indicates that the Directory Server core code is licensed under a GPL + Exception license that allows non-GPL 389-ds plugins to link to 389-ds and to use specific header files.

However, the LICENSE file in the current 389-ds-base source does not contain this exception. It was apparently removed by the following commit, when the license was changed to GPLv3+:

https://pagure.io/389-ds-base/c/88cae401aee39a19ac6b07c3c36ee8daa07192e7

Does that means that the license exception does not apply to the current version of 389-ds?

Regards,

Vincent Duvert
