There's one aspect of ghostscript-8.70 that I don't quite know what to put in the License: part ghostscript-omni is built from Omni which is LGPLv2.1 or later. The gnu chart states that one is allowed to convert LGPLv2.1 or later into GPLv3 and from that I would understand that either all references to LGPLv2.1 must be removed or it's alright to simply put the licence in as GNUv3.
We dont do it like that, we always keep the original license as is. Where and how a conversion is needed is always left as an exercise to the end user, so that the entire construct remains visible. I believe, that editing a license (even where technically correct) causes more confustion than good.
Please do not think so much about licenses, it will just make your head explode if not carefully studied over the years ;)
Right. But questions are always welcome. I'll reassign carefully in my team so that those exposions dont hit important people :-) cheers, JW- -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de back to ascii! __/ _---|____________\/ \ | 0911 74053-508 __/ (____/ /\ (/) | _____________________________/ _/ \_ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
