The third clause is different to me: Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: * Redistribution of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer. * Redistribution in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution. * If redistribution is done as a part of a compilation that has a more restrictive license (such as the GPL), then the fact that SYMPOW has a less restrictive license must be made clear to the recipient. For example, a line like (include bracketed text if SYMPOW is modified): "This compilation includes [a modification of] SYMPOW whose [original] code has a less-restrictive license than the entire compilation." should appear in a suitable place in the COPYING and/or LICENSE file. Blocking FE-Legal for an opinion. I wonder if the third clause might actually render the software GPL-incompatible. And even then, I'd have to leave it to a lawyer to determine what "more restrictive" really means. -- 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
