License change: python-versioneer, python-ncclient

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

 



Since python-versioneer was updated to 0.28 in Rawhide, its license changed from Public Domain (which really should have been CC0-1.0) to Unlicense. This reflects an upstream relicensing decision in version 0.24.

While the comments in versioneer-generated _version.py files mention only that they are public-domain, the README.md file in versioneer makes it clear that these files should be considered to fall under the same license as the versioneer package.

Thus, for those few packages that use the *packaged* python-versioneer to generate a _version.py file, that file will change from CC0-1.0 to Unlicense, which could affect the package license. For this reason, the license of the python-ncclient package changes from Apache-2.0 AND CC0-1.0 to Apache-2.0 AND Unlicense.

There are still many packages that contain a _version.py generated by a bundled older version of versioneer.py, either during the RPM build process or when their upstream produced the source distribution archive to upload to PyPI. These may still be technically CC0-1.0 for many years, until their upstreams eventually update versioneer and issue new releases. I note this only for completeness and clarity; it is, as far as I can tell, not a problem.
