Summary: Review Request: libmodelfile - library for accessing WorldForge model files Alias: libmodelfile https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198830 ------- Additional Comments From j.w.r.degoede@xxxxxx 2006-09-20 15:40 EST ------- By mail Wart wrote: "Hi Ralf, Hans, In the review for libmodelfile (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198830), you mention that the package's license conflicts with the included GPL license. The upstream author is willing to make the necessary changes, but has asked for clarification via bugzilla because he (nor I) are able to see exactly where the conflict arises. Ralf, you mention that section 2 of the source file licenses conflict with the GPL, but when I read section 2a of the GPL, I don't see this as a conflict. Could either of you follow up in the BZ report and clarify where exactly the conflict is, and what needs to be done to resolve it? Even though the package has already been FE_APPROVE'd, I'd rather not import it until this has been sorted out. Thanks! --Wart" I see your point, I guess they are compatible then Ralf, do you agree? Still it would be better /clearer / 100% sure if the copyright header could be changed to: /* Copyright (C) 2004 Alistair Riddoch <alriddoch@xxxxxxxxxx> * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or * (at your option) any later version. * * Or (at your option) you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms below instead of the terms of the GNU GPL: * * Permission is granted to anyone to use this software for any purpose, * including commercial applications, and to alter it and redistribute it * freely, subject to the following restrictions: * * 1.

Another alternative would be to remove the GPL text from the tarbal. The current problem isn't as much the copyright header / the license in the copyright header, as it is that the tarbal contains the GPL text in the COPYING file, but makes no other reference to the GPL, making the status of the software a bit unclear. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
