the legal department. Looking at the chart GPLv2 only isn't 100% compatible with any other license. Foomatic-filters cannot exist without libgs so if there is a problem they need to address it.

Not only GPLv2 is incompatible with any other licenses, GPLv3 is also incompatible even with GPLv2. I expect a lot of trouble for distributors in the near future because of this fact....

If they add "or later" to their licensing statement their problem dissapears, I've noticed that the top of the chart in gnu.orgs faq only has a column for GPLv3 or later and LGPLv3 or later. Omni's license is LGPLv2.1 or later and it is included in the build of the ghostscript (GPLv3) package's ghostscript-omni, what do I put in the spec file under License:, "GPLv3" or "LGPLv2.1 or later" Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
