Re: [Fedora-packaging] python bundled library question
I'm in the middle of reviewing
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=751925 python-tables and
came Toshio's useful link
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Unbundling_Python_Modules
The maintainer has licensed the package as multi-license BSD and AFL -
on investigating it seems to included another file from a package here
http://evan.prodromou.name/Software/Python/LRUCache, however the
python-table developers have modified it significantly for there own
use, albeit with the same file and class name.
Does this still constitute a bundled library or is it OK to include as is?
The file in question lrucache.py is released under the AFL license and
is attributed correctly in the python-tables source (by way of a copy
of the original lrucache license).
If it's significantly modified it may qualify for a copylib exception, but
you may want to file a trac for FPC for further evaluation. Are there
reasons why the modifications haven't been sent upstream?

thanks for your help
