Hi, one of the packages I maintain, Anki, has changed its license to AGPLv3+ in its latest release 2.x. Since the package contains now sources with a variety of different licenses, I'd like to get the confirmation from fedora-legal that my assessments are correct: 1. all licenses used in that package are compatible and so the new release 2.x of the package is acceptable for Fedora 2. resulting spec file license field: AGPLv3+ and MIT and BSD The following licenses are used in the sources [1] a) ./LICENSE.logo: "[...] Anki's logo is copyright Alex Fraser, and is licensed under the AGPL3 like the rest of Anki's code, but with extra provisions to allow more liberal use of the logo under limited conditions.[...]" b) ./LICENSE: "[...] Anki is dual licensed. It is distributed under the terms of the AGPL3, and the option of purchasing a proprietary license for those who need it is also available. The translations are under BSD copyright, as mandated by Launchpad. The icons are a mix of GPL or more liberal licenses; most were taken from standard icons installed on a Linux system.[...]" The python files specifically refer to AGPLv3 or later: "# License: GNU AGPL, version 3 or later; http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html" c) ./libanki/LICENSE: "[...] Anki is dual licensed. It is distributed under the terms of the AGPL3, and the option of purchasing a proprietary license for those who need it is also available. The translations are under BSD copyright, as mandated by Launchpad. Also note: - the template/ folder is based off pystache, and a separate license is included within [ -> d) ] - the Javascript files in js.py are subject to their respective licenses [ -> f), g), h)] - The SuperMemo importer was user-contributed and is GPL3 licensed [ -> e) ] [...]" d) ./libanki/anki/template/LICENSE: This file seems to contain a regular modern style MIT license. e) ./libanki/anki/importing/supermemo_xml.py: "# Copyright: petr.michalec@xxxxxxxxx # License: GNU GPL, version 3 or later; http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html" f) ./libanki/anki/js.py # jquery = jquery 1.5 "Dual licensed under the MIT or GPL Version 2 licenses." g) ./libanki/anki/js.py # plot = flot 0.7 and the stack plugin "Released under the MIT license by IOLA, December 2007" h) ./libanki/anki/js.py # ui = jquery ui 1.8.9 "Dual licensed under the MIT or GPL Version 2 licenses." The AGPL and MIT licenses should be compatible without any issues, but I'm unsure about the GPLv3 compatibility of the AGPLv3. On Fedora's licensing wiki page [2] is stated that they are "sort of" compatible referring to a GPl FAQ [3]. Thank you very much in advance!
