CUPS will change license since 2.3 version - now incompatible with GPLv2

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

 



Hi,

CUPS upstream changed license of project to Apache license 2.0, which is
now incompatible with GPLv2. This change will be in new minor release of
CUPS - 2.3.0, which is currently in developing phase (not in Fedora for
now). If someone takes code of CUPS and has its project under GPLv2,
please change it to GPLv3 (which should be compatible according
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#SoftwareLicenses
) or try to argument with CUPS developers against this change on their
mailing list cups@xxxxxxxx .

Is there someone who is influenced by this change?
