Summary: Review Request: perl-Crypt-RIPEMD160 - Perl extension for the RIPEMD-160 Hash function https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452453 tibbs@xxxxxxxxxxx changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- OtherBugsDependingO| |182235 nThis| | ------- Additional Comments From tibbs@xxxxxxxxxxx 2008-07-02 13:30 EST ------- Just to get a note into bugzilla, I'm currently holding off on this because you asked me to on IRC. I've started to lose the context now, but it seems there are some license issues with this code: [Sun Jun 22 2008] [23:11:20] <tibbs|h> The license of the RIPEMD160 module is interesting. [Sun Jun 22 2008] [23:12:00] <G> argh, did I miss read one? [Sun Jun 22 2008] [23:12:39] <tibbs|h> The C code is just Copyright (c) Katholieke Universiteit Leuven 1996, All Rights Reserved [Sun Jun 22 2008] [23:12:51] <tibbs|h> No license, no distribution rights, no use rights, nothing. [Sun Jun 22 2008] [23:13:15] <tibbs|h> The perl module authors claim that this doesn't permit its use under GPL or Artistic, but I guess I don't see how. [Sun Jun 22 2008] [23:13:46] <tibbs|h> I'll have to ask Legal to double-check. [Sun Jun 22 2008] [23:14:07] <G> yeah, by all means [Sun Jun 22 2008] [23:27:35] <G> tibbs|h: might want to put perl-Crypt-RIPEMD on hold, I don't actually know how I missed that I'll go ahead and ask legal to take a look. -- 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, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
