[opensuse-factory] Legal problem in package sim
When trying to rename package sim to kde3-sim I facted the following legal problem: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=719081 === The spec file of kde3-sim and most of the licenses in the package state that the package is licensed under the GPL-2.0+. However, a single file (with header): sim/qjpegio.cpp is licensed under an old version of QT license. It offers a choice of either (1) a commercial license, (2) QPL or (3) GPL-2.0 ("only"). As we must choose choice (3) this will mean that a resulting derived work of qjpegio.cpp and the other GPL-2.0+ files in the package will need to be licensed under the GPL-2.0 "only". Thus, the spec file license should read (with comment): # the GPL-2.0 license of qjpegio.cpp may cause the entire package to be licensed # under GPL-2.0 License: GPL-2.0 There is, however, a second problem. The file plugins/yahoo/sha.c is licensed under the MPL-1.1. That license is incompatible with the GPL-2.0. So we need to determine: (1) if that file is actually used at all (2) if it is used, is it compiled/linked with GPL licensed code (3) if it is (and a derived work may have been created) upstream will need to be contacted to resolve this (4) Failing (3), it may be possible to substitute the MPL sha.c code with a functionally equivalent GPL compatible version === For now I removed the Yahoo plugin entirely. But what other possible solutions, given the package sim is already in Factory? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Find a BSD licensed sha.c? It should be rather easy.

Have you tried to install it? I tried installing it on my notebook but GRUB failed to install (I used the KDE one and as default file system btrfs.) May I should open a bugreport? I try to install it again... Kim -- kind regards, Kim Leyendecker ***************** Linux is userfriendly.

If you want to use btrfs, then you have to have a separate /boot with ext3/4 on it ... but seems you have already success based on your G+ report :D -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yeah, it´s working so far very well. I just did a partition mistake... So, nothing really important anymore.

I installed with btrfs (BeTeR File System?) on an externel hard drive automatically created a separate boot partition. so far my one complaint is I get a "do you want me to fall back to something that is really long Yes or No a Yes completes the boot. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I thought that NOT using a /boot partition with BTRFS was resolved with the implementation of systemd?
