The GPL allows modifying the Program. That's a non-issue even when applying the exceptions. Quote: You obey the GPL in all respects for the Program and the Work > Well, the EXCEPTIONS does not violate the GPLv3. It grants additional > rights, not restrictions. 1 b.ii is an added restriction. It takes away freedom. It overrules the licence used for "the Work" when linking with "the Program". Even copyright holders of libzdb cannot do that. For example: Assume I link (L)GPLv2 licensed Work with libzdb + EXCEPTIONS, then 1 b.ii requires me to do more than what would be necessary with just the (L)GPLv2. I stick to my earlier POV, choosing "GPLv3+ only" is okay as one of the multiple licencing options. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
