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
