Anderson <cra@xxxxxxx> 2008-11-30 17:18:05 EDT --- Spec URL: http://cra.fedorapeople.org/Judy/Judy.spec SRPM URL: http://cra.fedorapeople.org/Judy/Judy-1.0.4-3.fc10.src.rpm Scratch Build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=964814 * Thu Nov 30 2008 Charles R. Anderson <cra@xxxxxxx> 1.0.4-3 - fix Judy1 man page symlinks - use valid tag License: LGPLv2+ confirmed with upstream - use version macro in Source0 - remove Makefiles from installed doc tree Regarding the license, upstream has confirmed that the current license is LGPL v2.1 or later. Also, the source code is really the final say on this, and it says "GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version." Either way, Fedora spec files don't distinguish between v2.1 and v2, so this is specified as LGPLv2+ for the spec file.

You are correct, the COPYING file is correct (LGPL v2.1 or later applies). I will change the README file to reflect that in the next release of Judy. ..." However, the author has noted that the license may change in a future release to just LGPLv2. I'll be sure to update the License tag and notify fedora-devel-list if/when such a new release is imported into Fedora: "From dougbaskins@xxxxxxxxx Fri Nov 28 19:09:55 2008 From: Doug Baskins <dougbaskins@xxxxxxxxx> To: Chuck Anderson <cra@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2008 16:09:48 -0800 (PST) Subject: Re: Judy license confusion Reply-To: Doug Baskins <dougbaskins@xxxxxxxxx> Chuck: I have been requested by Hewlett-Packard to REMOVE the "or (at your option) later version" part of the wording from Judy sources. Apparently the v3 License is not acceptable to a lot of people and companies with regard to the patent section. If I do not do this, HP personnel cannot support me in the future. Sorry about that. I suspect that this problem will get sorted out in the future. (Sometimes I hate politics or perhaps Lawyers).
