[opensuse-factory] License question :-)
Hi, not trolling, I promise. What's the license of the aaa_base package? The RPM says "GPLv2+" /usr/bin/old says nothing, only "Copyright ... SuSE Linux AG" Is the whole aaa_base "GPLv2 or later"?

you should look at the content I don't know if everybody cared of that before :-( The RPM says "GPLv2+"
/usr/bin/old says nothing, only "Copyright ... SuSE Linux AG"
please friend developpers that read this, *never do such thing* (using bare "Copyright.."). This makes the file bearly non redistributable and certainly non free! is there an "old" file in the others distributions?

Open a bugreport please? And without a license header in place the intent is usually that all files are under the license as marked in the aaa_base RPM header.

There are dozens, perhaps hundreds of files like that inthe distro. Have a look at the /etc/init.d/ directory. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

It is a rather poor example though. I doubt very much that /usr/bin/old is copyrightable. It's just too small. If that single loop is copyrightable, then no program is ever safe Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
