Hi *, I am still working on getting a SWIG 2.0 package out of the door. The least interesting part (for me) is the licensing change.
SWIG changed from a mix of BSD/MIT licenses to GPLv3 with version 2.0. I wonder about the wording of debian/copyright. I don't really want to reproduce the full LICENSE-UNIVERSITIES file http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-swig/branches/swig2.0/LICENSE-UNIVERSITIES Instead I would rather refer to common-licenses, but the texts of the license in there do not match word-by-word with BSD/MIT. Does anybody think it is wrong to summarize in debian/copyright that SWIG is GPLv3 with parts being under MIT or BSD license instead of putting in a full copy? It is my understanding that GPLv3 is the most restrictive license of the bunch. Thanks, Torsten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
