So the License: in the spec file for ghostscript-omni is supposed to be? :- a) The same as the actual license in the Omni directory of the source - LGPLv2.1
ghostscript-8.70.tar.bz2/ghostscript-8.70/contrib/gomni.c is LGPLv2.1 I could not find an omni directory in the source.
It's unpacked from Omni-0.9.2.tar.bz2 in the %prep stage and built separately in the same spec file and results in quite a few libraries, if you look at the tale end of the build log you can see them, one for each printer.
or b) The same as the ghostscript-8.70 license - GPLv3
The header files linked into gomni.c appear to be under artifex license. Which I will consider to be GPLv2+ for our purposes.
Artifex is the company that makes ghostscript and they license the free version under GPLv3, used to be v2+, that's how this thread started.
I assume that ghostscript-omni only contains one driver binary. Technically correct is then:
LGPLv2.1 & GPLv2+ [& ...]
Add more licenses [& ...], as you find them being for everything that is integrated into the omni-binary. If and how the end construct of that mix is sane, is a second question. Sigh.
cheers, JW-
GNU maintains that their licenses makes distribution and using software easy :-) I'll follow your guidlines. Thanks Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
