Re: DEP-5 / dual-licensed / and vs os [Re: rsyslog_8.2608.0-5_amd64.changes REJECTED]

[Mechtilde]

Hello Michael,

I did a deeper look into this package and found three files under CDDL.



Here the files I found already:

 compat/getifaddrs.c
 compat/ifaddrs.h
 plugins/imsolaris/sun_cddl.c



Kind regards
Mechtilde

As we know, the CDDL isn't compatible with the GPL (neither version 2+ nor 3+) So you can fill a bug to upstream that they have a licensing problem with rsyslog which they must solve.

hello,

please add all authors with their files to d/copyright.

Fwiw, I don't plan to do that.


I will use "Rainer Gerhards (Adiscon GmbH) and others".

There are many packages which don't do that either, say src:linux because this is not maintainable.

Please be more specific which files are under which licenses.

You find more information under

The files in test/ are not dual-licensed as you mentioned in d/ copyright

Regarding that:
I understand the DEP-5 syntax [1] like this:

If code contains both license A and B parts it should use "and".
If code is dual-licensed it should use "or".

In section 7.2 [1] you find this statement:

" This is for a file that has both GPL and classic BSD code in it:

License: GPL-2+ and BSD-3-clause

this is explizit for different licensed parts in one file.

Only the code marked explizit as under BSD-3 can be used so.
If you use the whole file in another Project you have to follow the GPL-2+.

So the summary:
Files: *
Copyright: GPL-3.0+ and Apache-2.0

seems correct to me.

Please advice.

Michael

In my case, I used "and", i.e. "GPL-3.0+ and Apache-2.0". Parts of the code uses Apache-2.0 (Mostly newer code), older code uses (GPL-3.0+) [1] https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ #license-specification
