Hello,
this is about the package server:database / xtrabackup which I would
like to bring into openSUSE:Factory.
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=xtrabackup&project=server%3…https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/128577
The upstream code license is GPL-2.0, the upstream documentation license
is CC-BY-SA-2.0. Both code and documentation are contained in the
upstream source tarball from which the package is built. Currently the
documentation is ignored. What should the license of the resulting
source package and binary packages be?
Percona has a trademark policy which is one reason why I do not create
the documentation from the sources, as they contain Percona's names,
logos, contact information and trademarks.
http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/trademark-policy.html
Should generating a documentation package from these source be attempted?
What would the licenses of the packages be if I add a documentation
sub-package?
The package also contains specific source distributions of MySQL 5.5.17
and 5.1.59. These are pristine as distributed by the MySQL project and
patched during the build with patches in the xtrabackup sources. As all
sources involved are GPL-2.0 I don't see a problem there, albeit the
sources were obtained from a Percona server.
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi there,
this is from a discussion on opensuse-packaging and Andreas suggested to get
you in the loop too.
>> the issue is that both openmotif and alglib... they do not qualify for
>> obs under the oss licence rule... though packages that are in common
>> usage in science community need them...
>>
>> so the question is how do we handle them?
>> do we push them to non-oss? and then build science repos against
>> non-oss
>>
>> as these have non-commercial free source usage, do we add a pop-up
>> licence to them telling users about?
>>
>> I have no idea what is opensuse-bar...
>Please send the above text to the the mailing list opensuse-
>bar(a)opensuse.org,
>Andreas
