Mixed license problem

by Luigi Baldoni

Hello, I'm in a bit of a pickle with a package (vsxu) which has already been rejected by Factory a couple of times. The code is GPL-3.0 and LGPL-3.0 but the package also includes indispensable proprietary contents. I'm trying in particular to address the remarks in sr#519052: upstream is willing to license the embedded artwork as CC-BY-ND-4.0, which as I understand it wouldn't satisfy SUSE guidelines. Could you recommend something that would be acceptable by suse-legal and also safeguard the brand of Vovoid Media?

Expiration of the final US patents covering MP3 and inclusion of libmad in Leap 42.3

by tsuroerusu＠gmail.com

Earlier today, I recalled that the final US patents covering the MP3 were due to expire this year, and I did a quick Google search, and found this list at OSNews (Scroll down to get the table): http://www.osnews.com/story/24954/US_Patent_Expiration_for_MP3_MPEG-2_H_264/ It also links to other lists that point to the same date, the 16th of April 2017, for the final US patent related to the MP3 format to expire. I would think that this could allow for Leap 42.3 to legally include libmad, and thereby enable full MP3 support across the distribution without any non-free code (Like Fluendo GStreamer plugins etc.). I must confess I rarely hang out on the mailing lists, but I just thought I would put this idea out there, since we are a good few months away from the release of 42.3, and if I happened to be correct it could be very useful to FINALLY have libmad included in the distribution's own package set. This is especially true since VLC itself is actually included. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-bar+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-bar+owner(a)opensuse.org

Qt Creator license

by Fabian Vogt

Hi, Qt Creator changed its license (a while ago actually) from the LGPL with Nokia/Digia exception (SUSE-LGPL-2.1-with-digia-exception-1.1) to this: "This is the GNU General Public License version 3, annotated with The Qt Company GPL Exception 1.1" (https://github.com/qtproject/qt-creator/blob/master/LICENSE.GPL3-EXCEPT) What is the right value for the rpm License: tag for libqt5-creator? AFAICS, it is not on spdx.org (neither as license nor exception) and as the list of exceptions only contains "commonly found" ones, it does not fit there. Thanks, Fabian -- SUSE LINUX GmbH - GF: Felix Imendoerffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton - HRB 21284 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-bar+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-bar+owner(a)opensuse.org

Recommend vlc-codecs in pattern-openSUSE

by jcsl

Hi. I'd like to request the replacement of Totem with VLC in the default LXDE pattern. And I also would like that the package vlc-codecs to be installed when the Packman repository is added (most people does it) to make possible the playback of media formats not supported without it. Is this possible or there are legal issues preventing it?

I can't find anything which is not fulfilled. Maybe it would be fine the VeryCrypt homepage menu "License" would also clarify the part with TrueCrypt license. But that's not part of the source. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-bar+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-bar+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-bar] Packaging VeraCrypt (a based on TrueCrypt software)

by Markus Kolb

Hi Ciaran, VeraCrypt uses both licenses. This also complies with the TrueCrypt license. This 'based on TrueCrypt' is required by the TrueCrypt license (III.1.3). It is a derivative work. I think the question is, if it is NonFree in the opinion of SUSE. Markus Am 2015-01-27 12:33, schrieb Ciaran Farrell: > Hi, > > I took a quick look now.

Packaging VeraCrypt (a based on TrueCrypt software)

by Markus Kolb

Hello, I'd like to package VeraCrypt [https://veracrypt.codeplex.com]. It's license is MS-PL [https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/license] but based on TrueCrypt license [https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=VeraCrypt%20License]. I've requested [https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/282383] maintenance for https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/security:privacy:veracrypt and got told to ask/discuss it here. I think some people may miss a software to open "TrueCrypts Volumes" and its features. Up to openSUSE 13.1 there has been the realcrypt package for this purpose. I don't know why realcrypt isn't longer available. Maybe it was only a renamed package with TrueCrypt sources and became insecure. VeraCrypt is a successor of TrueCrypt with many fixes and more secure cryptology. So what do you think? I know the TrueCrypt license is too restricted to become an FSF free software license. So is it possible to bundle the package with openSUSE? In security:privacy:veracrypt? Or in openSUSE:Factory:NonFree?
