Ok, I see. Gonna prepare a package at first. On 2020-01-20 23:22, Dan Čermák wrote:

It appears that the problematic lines were removed from soundcard.h on September 29 2013: https://github.com/thestk/stk/commit/fc877b87bf9ce2cda33766e37835cff297848bf...

So _in theory_¹ you should now be allowed to update stk and submit the changes to Factory (where licensedigger and the legal team will evaluate that).

I've ran a scan using FOSSA on the stk sources and it found the following licenses in the source code:

BSD 2-Clause "Simplified" License: - src/include/soundcard.h

Public Domain: - doc/treesed.html - src/include/iasiothiscallresolver.h - README.md

GPL-3.0-with-GCC-exception: - config/config.sub - config/config.guess

MIT (this is the LICENSE file)

There's however another issue, see the section https://github.com/thestk/stk#legal-and-ethical:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Some of the concepts are covered by various patents, some known to us and likely others which are unknown. Many of the ones known to us are administered by the Stanford Office of Technology and Licensing. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

which could be a show stopper for shipping this in openSUSE...
