Request for Clarification: License of unit test framework

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

 



Hi,

I've got a BSD-licensed library up for review[1]. All of the code for the library falls under the BSD license, but the package bundles an LGPLv3-licensed unit test framework [2]. The unit test framework is built and used in %check, but does not end up in the resulting binary RPM. My question is, do I need to include LGPLv3 in the package's license? Or, should I rm the LGPL source during %prep and exclude %check? The guidelines tend to indicate I don't[3] need to include LGPLv3 in the license field, but this particular case isn't treated in the multiple licensing situations[4].

Thanks,

Rich
