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.
So the License: in the spec file for ghostscript-omni is supposed to be? :- a) The same as the actual license in the Omni directory of the source - LGPLv2.1 or b) The same as the ghostscript-8.70 license - GPLv3 Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
