CeCILL licence

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

 



Hi.

SciLab has changed its licence to CeCILLv2[1], which claims to be GPLv2+
compatible. I tried reading it and it gave me a headache. It seems
to contain a few dubious passages[2]. Could RH Legal have a look at it
and decide if it's OK to include code licensed under it in Fedora?

Ideally, I'd like to have an answer for all four licences listed on
this page, but CeCILLv2 would suffice for now.

Thanks,
R.
