License compatibility : MPLv2.0 and GPLv3+

by Remi Collet

Hi, From compatibility list [1], state is "Sometimes" I'm working on packaging Grammmalecte [2] and like to know is this is really compatible in this case (and thus, acceptable for Fedora repo) - MPL code (seems to) come from lightprof which have been used / adapted for French (extension and builder) - GPL code is the French engine Remi.

Missing license header for ASL 2.0 project

by Jonny Heggheim

Hi, license headers for python-libnacl[1] was missing, so I asked upstream if they could confirm that all files were under ASL[2]. Upstream reply was: > Yes, as stated in clause 5 of the Apache license all files contributed to this project inherit the Apache Licence unless explicitly stated otherwise. Do we need to get confirmation from upstream when license is ASL 2.0? Sincerely Jonny Heggheim [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1399833#c3 [2] https://github.com/saltstack/libnacl/issues/86

License of a file in espeak-ng

by Ondřej Lysoněk

Hi, I'm packaging espeak-ng [1] and it includes a file which has a somewhat problematic license [2]. The license header in the file itself doesn't explicitly permit modification, however the file is reachable from a page saying that all the code listed there can be modified, if you send the improvements back to the author [3]. Can we use code like this in Fedora? Thanks.

Un-retiring QCad

by Antonio Trande

Hi all. This is an un-retiring request for QCad on Fedora (https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/qcad/). Now upstream provides an open-source community edition version of QCad including files with following licenses: ## Main license: GPLv3 ## ## 3rd parties licenses: ## dxflib: GPLv2+. # See src/3rdparty/dxflib/gpl-2.0greater.txt ## opennurbs: Public domain (neither copyright nor copyleft apply). # See src/3rdparty/opennurbs/readme.txt ## quazip: LPGLv2+. # See src/3rdparty/quazip/lgpl-2.1.txt ## spatialindexnavel: MIT # See src/3rdparty/spatialindexnavel/COPYING ## stemmer: BSD 2-Clause License # See src/3rdparty/stemmer/bsd-2.txt ## Hershey fonts are released under the terms described in fonts/hershey.readme. ## Other fonts in directory 'fonts' are released as public domain (all copyright ## is waived). I don't know if Hershey license can be accepted on Fedora.
