I came across what looks like a possible licensing issue with LibRaw and applications that link to it. I am not totally sure that there is a problem, but I have enough reason to have doubts. I welcome any clarifications and advice. LibRaw's License tag was changed from "LGPLv2 or CDDL" to GPLv3 when the two demosaic packs were added [1]. One of the demosaic packs is GPLv2+ and the other is GPLv3+. However, http://www.libraw.org/ mentions LibRaw's license as GPLv2+, while the source files continue to claim that they are under LGPLv2 or CDDL. Shotwell, which uses LibRaw, is LGPLv2+. By my reading of the compatibility matrix [2], it means that Shotwell is now effectively GPLv3. If that is the case, then has Yorba been notified of that? I doubt they would suddenly want their code to become GPLv3 instead of LGPLv2+. Thanks, Debarshi [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=760638 [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#GPL_Compatibility_Matrix -- There are two hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors.
