[Bug 967696] New: License change in KDE:Qt*
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=967696 Bug ID: 967696 Summary: License change in KDE:Qt* Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: 2015* Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE Applications Assignee: opensuse-kde-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: cgiboudeaux@gmx.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Hi, When submitting Qt 5.6, we'll need to update license for libqt5-* packages. Currently, we're using "GPL-3.0 or SUSE-LGPL-2.1-with-digia-exception-1.1" which is not accurate anymore. Digia is gone and the Qt5 license changed. Here's the current license text: ** ** Copyright (C) 2015 The Qt Company Ltd. ** Copyright (C) 2015 Intel Corporation ** Contact: http://www.qt.io/licensing/ ** ** This file is part of the xxx module of the Qt Toolkit. ** ** $QT_BEGIN_LICENSE:LGPL21$ ** Commercial License Usage ** Licensees holding valid commercial Qt licenses may use this file in ** accordance with the commercial license agreement provided with the ** Software or, alternatively, in accordance with the terms contained in ** a written agreement between you and The Qt Company.

The Nokia reference probably comes from the license exception here: http://spdx.org/licenses/exceptions-index.html
It looks like the new exception has not been proposed there yet.
Well, my issue atm is that my SR to factory are getting denied because the new licenses are not known by rpmlint. Can you create the missing SUSE-$whatever-with-qt-exception-x.x ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
