Hi, I was looking at the some of the dependencies generated by AutoReqProv in the RPMS in Fedora 11 and I noticed the following: eclipse-swt (epl) requires: libxpcom.so provided-by: nspluginwrapper (gplv2+) php-cli (php) requires: libreadline.so provided-by: readline (gplv2+) How is this possible? I don't think EPL or PHP licenses are allowed to dynamically link to GPLV2+ libraries. I see that neither of these dependency problems exist in RHEL 5.4 (eclipse-swt is known as libswt3-gtk2 in RHEL 5.4). ps. I'm a B.Sc. student doing a research project on licensing problems in open source linux distros, so I'm excited to see if my techniques have actually found some real life licensing problems. -- yours, Julius Davies 250-592-2284 (Home) 250-893-4579 (Mobile) http://juliusdavies.ca/logging.html _______________________________________________ Fedora-legal-list mailing list Fedora-legal-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legal-list
