Hi all,

I was about to submit GitKraken to the devel:tools project where I thought it would fit best - until I saw the mess of licenses this has.

I'm unsure of how the licensing (there are a multitude of licenses used due to the number of libraries used) would affect openSUSE.

GitKraken itself uses its own license https://www.gitkraken.com/eula

Package link: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:luke_nukem/gitkraken

If someone more experienced than I, could advise on this, it would be appreciated. On that note, would "packman" be a better place for it to live?

Regards, Luke

If the license / terms don't specifically prevent openSUSE distributing the built binaries (Take patent violation as an example) then its probably better going into the non-oss repo then packman, that is of course if the license allows it to be distributed. "You shall not license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, host, outsource, disclose or otherwise commercially exploit or make the Software available to any third party except as expressly provided for in Section 2.1 above; " I am not a lawyer but I would read the above as an indication that it shouldn't be published / distributed on a public obs instance.

Is GitKraken open source? Can I contribute to its development?

No, GitKraken is not open source. We welcome your feature requests and any ideas you have to share. Feel free to let us know. GitKraken does rely on open source projects like NodeGit, libgit2, and Electron. Our devs actively contribute to these projects in an effort to help all software that use them (including GitKraken, of course)!

But I want to work on GitKraken. Like, on the app itself.

Sounds like you’re looking for a career at Axosoft. We’re pretty nice people and we’re hiring talented devs. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
