But I decided with intention to use GPL as Samba is provided this way. Adding Ciaran and Jürgen to cc to ask if they know a reason why the init scripts should be LGPL? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, we need to consider what it actually is that is being licensed. Is choosing the GPL a bit "over the top" for some small shell scripts (this is not a rhetorical question - the decision on how to license the scripts is a business decision, not a legal decision)? The suggestion to use GPL is certainly not a bad one. To avoid GPL conflicts (which I'm not at all sure would actually ensue as there doesn't seem to be any creation of a derived work simply be having init scripts start e.g. samba) you could just make sure that the license is GPL compatible (be careful with GPLv2 and GPLv3). Thus, for relatively trivial works, we could use a BSD 3 clause license, or even an X11/MIT license. The LGPL provides lesser protection than the GPL, but again, you need to ask yourself or your manager, if this would be "over the top".

Submitted with revision 2064 to trunk (3.3.0). This code will be available first with the TESTING repository in the openSUSE Build Service. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
