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
