Summary: Review Request: netcdf-perl Perl extension module for scientific data access via the netCDF API https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=215444 ------- Additional Comments From orion@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 2006-11-14 15:42 EST ------- Asked about the license on netcdf-perl list and got this: Orion, Your request will be part of the next release. Regards, Steve Emmerson ------- Original Message Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 10:20:54 -0700 From: Orion Poplawski <orion@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx , netcdf-perl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: netCDF Perl license As currently distributed, the netCDF Perl license is not OSI compatible because of the following clause: Further, the user agrees to credit UCAR/Unidata in any publications that result from the use of this software or in any product that includes this software. This is a restriction on use and is unacceptable in a truly free distribution like Fedora. The NetCDF license had a similar clause and was changed to: Further, UCAR requests that the user credit UCAR/Unidata in any publications that result from the use of this software or in any product that includes this software, although this is not an obligation. Please consider changing the netCDF Perl license in a similar manner so that it can be packaged as part of Fedora. Thanks! -------------------- So I think we're good there. Changed license NetCDF. New version: http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/netcdf-perl.spec http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/netcdf-perl-1.2.3-2.fc6.src.rpm - I'd rather stick with netcdf-perl as that is the upstream name. - Changed license to NetCDF, will be changed upstream next release - Add src/perl/test.pl to %%doc - Added netcdf-2 man page - Only use top level Makefile for installing man page -- 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
