If that's the case, shouldn't we just say so? This: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=247983 brings up a number of issues. But here, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481056#c5, Gavin notes that the licensing issues have been resolved. I hadn't looked at this deeply initially -- I'm just trying to get Scratch to work -- but now I wonder if it needs a second check. (For example, I see that the GPLv2+ code is still there.) (There *is* now a Debian package, by the way, and it looks like they've done some investigation: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/s/squeak-vm/squeak-vm_4.4.7.2357-1.1/squeak-vm.copyright ) -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
