I'm not aware of how R handle C library linking but either it's possible to dynamically link to minizip system library (and it's conflicts with our "don't ship bundled system library" rule), or it's not or use an heavily customized version of minizip and then it's a (partial ?) derivative work. The main issue is that zlib and BSD are both non-copyleft licenses which requires to keep the original notice, mentionning original authors and if original sources were modified. It's feasible but differences between zlib/BSD are not worth shipping two notices, you'd better stick to zlib (the maintainer should not worry about compatibility with other third party-libraries). As i said, the licensing issue by itself is not a blocker for inclusion in Fedora but it should be sorted out. -- 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. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
