License issue with mpich2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,


I've been trying to get mpich2 into Fedora for quite a long time now
[1]. At this time all the technical issues blocking its inclusion
seems to have been solved; however Jason Tibbitts did raise an issue
with the licensing. mpich2 package doesn't contain any licensing text,
but it ships with a copyright notice which include a 'GOVERNMENT
LICENSE' and a 'DISCLAIMER' sections, and also simply stating
'Permission is hereby granted to use, reproduce, prepare derivative
works, and
to redistribute to others.'
I've had the review ticket blocking FE-legal, but nothing is happening
on that front yet. I hope FE-legal can look into this and make a
decision, the upstream is really interested in having the package
distributed as part of Fedora.
Thank you.
