Hi,
during the update of the package scummvm I reviewed its license and
stumbled over some difficulties:
- the main parts of the source code seem to be GPLv2+:
https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/branch-2-2/COPYING
- however, parts of scummvm are using a variety of BSD-like licenses as
well as LGPLv2+, please see the various COPYING.* files here:
https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/tree/branch-2-2
As far as I understand, these additional licenses are compatible with
GPLv2+.
My concrete question is:
Is there a need to list the other licenses in the "License" tag as well or
is "GPLv2+" sufficient? If all licenses need to be listed, would that be in
this case:
"GPLv2+ and BSD and LGPLv2.1+ and OFL" ?
Note 1: It looks like that the TTF fonts under GPLv3+ (COPYING.FREEFONT)
are not installed in Fedora (but they are present in the src package).
Note 2: The Suse distribution seems to use "GPL-2.0+" and Debian has
references to all licenses:
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main
/s/scummvm/scummvm_2.2.0+dfsg1-1_copyright
Thank you very much in advance for the advice.
Best regards,
Christian
