<[email protected]> wrote:> bible-kjv package claims to be
GPLv2 licensed. One file has an "or
later" clause but some files seem to GPLv2-only. However, with the
switch to readline6 (#553733), it uses a GPLv3 library. GPLv3 and
GPLv2-only are known to be incompatible licenses, so please build
with libedit instead. A patch is enclosed.
Instead of applying this patch, you can also build-depend on
libeditreadline-dev, which allows to build with libedit while keeping
the readline interface.
I could also, presumably, adjust the licence to be GPL2+? The only bit
of the code that is GPL2 and isn't my copyright is randverse, which
isn't linked against readline.
Sure. That is another solution.
I've been in touch with Oliver Elphick, the author of randverse, and he
is happy for that to be GPL2+ as well, so I'm going to resolve this
issue by relicencing. Possibly not before Christmas now, mind...
