Summary: Review Request: e16 - The Enlightenment window manager, DR16 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=254056 tcallawa@xxxxxxxxxx changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- OtherBugsDependingO|182235 | nThis| | ------- Additional Comments From tcallawa@xxxxxxxxxx 2008-03-23 10:13 EST ------- OK, e16 license came back as free but GPL-incompatible (v2 and v3), due to the fact that notices and an acknowledgement must appear in "marketing and publicity materials", which puts it in the BSD-advertising-clause category. Since the epp bits compile into their own, independent binary, and there is no source code linking or sharing, this is fine to distribute as is. Please use: License: BSD with advertising and GPLv2+ It is worth noting that some of the e16 upstream components have fixed this problem in their license: (http://www.enlightenment.org/viewvc/misc/geist/COPYING?r1=1.2&r2=1.3&pathrev=HEAD&view=patch) I would strongly suggest reaching out to the copyright holders everytime we see this license and asking them if they're willing to make the same license changes. While its not a problem for this specific package, it could easily make other works which have GPL and e16 code linked together, totally undistributable by Fedora (or anyone, really).
