Good point.

However, their copies are often out of date. For that reason, I have been following the "WWW homepage" links on those pages to find the real upstream for each package. Note that the "WWW homepage" link on the XGap page is broken. It points to Max Neunhöffer's old web page. So I did a Google search for his current web page, found his XGap page, and listed that as the home page. I think that makes sense; it is the author's own web page for the package. > and they also offer a bzip tarball: > > ftp://ftp.gap-system.org/pub/gap/gap4/tar.bz2/packages/xgap4r21.tar.bz2 Hmmm, I'm not sure if I should use that, since that is a repacking of the upstream sources by a 3rd party. > Where did you find out about the license? In the manual; see doc/manual.pdf. The title page says, "We adopt the copyright regulations of GAP as detailed in the copyright notice in the GAP manaul." The GAP manual's copyright notice specifies GPL version 2 or any later version; see /usr/share/gap/doc/ref/manual.pdf, page 19. This appears to be common amongst GAP packagers. Many of the packages carry that identical phrase somewhere in the documentation. -- 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
