Hi as I am trying to add the owncloud package to openSUSE Factory did run into some AGPL vs. PHP GPL-3.0 license problems.
Could you help me on this? Please tell me under which license owncloud could should be published. Best Regards Andrej Semen see also bug report https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=719155 paste from from bug report comment #0 The AGPL-3.0 and the GPL-3.0 are compatible but the AGPL-3.0 and the GPL-2.0(+) are not, meaning that for the purposes of opencloud, we need to treat all instances of GPL-2.0+ as GPL-3.0 code. Then, the compatibility issue does not arise. However, the PHP-3.0.1 license is compatible with neither the AGPL-3.0 nor with the GPL-3.0. This is (according to the FSF: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#PHP-3.01) because of the limitations that the PHP license puts on the use of the name "PHP" in derived products. At least the following files in owncloud (there are repetitions in file names here, I haven't looked to see if the files contain the same code) are licensed under the PHP 3.0 license. As such, according to the FSF these files are incompatible with the (GPL|AGPL)-3.0 licensed files in owncloud. I suggest checking to see if and how such PHP licensed files are used (if at all). If they are used and are "mission critical" we should definitely ask upstream if they are aware of the issue and intend to address it. owncloud._/3rdparty/PEAR/Autoloader.php owncloud._/3rdparty/PEAR/Command.php owncloud._/3rdparty/PEAR/Command/Auth.php owncloud._/3rdparty/PEAR/Command/Build.php owncloud._/3rdparty/PEAR/Command/Common.php owncloud._/3rdparty/PEAR/Command/Config.php owncloud._/3rdparty/PEAR/Command/Mirror.php owncloud._/3rdparty/PEAR/Command/Registry.php owncloud._/3rdparty/PEAR/Command/Remote.php owncloud._/3rdparty/PEAR/Config.php owncloud._/3rdparty/PEAR/Frontend/CLI.php owncloud._/3rdparty/PEAR/Packager.php owncloud._/3rdparty/PEAR/Remote.php owncloud._/3rdparty/System.php owncloud._/3rdparty/XML/Parser.php owncloud/inc/PEAR/Autoloader.php owncloud/inc/PEAR/Command.php owncloud/inc/PEAR/Command/Auth.php owncloud/inc/PEAR/Command/Build.php owncloud/inc/PEAR/Command/Common.php owncloud/inc/PEAR/Command/Config.php owncloud/inc/PEAR/Command/Mirror.php owncloud/inc/PEAR/Command/Registry.php owncloud/inc/PEAR/Command/Remote.php owncloud/inc/PEAR/Config.php owncloud/inc/PEAR/Frontend/CLI.php owncloud/inc/PEAR/Packager.php owncloud/inc/PEAR/Remote.php owncloud/inc/PHPUnit.php owncloud/inc/PHPUnit/Assert.php owncloud/inc/PHPUnit/GUI/Gtk.php owncloud/inc/PHPUnit/GUI/HTML.php owncloud/inc/PHPUnit/GUI/SetupDecorator.php owncloud/inc/PHPUnit/RepeatedTest.php owncloud/inc/PHPUnit/Skeleton.php owncloud/inc/PHPUnit/TestCase.php owncloud/inc/PHPUnit/TestDecorator.php owncloud/inc/PHPUnit/TestFailure.php owncloud/inc/PHPUnit/TestListener.php owncloud/inc/PHPUnit/TestResult.php owncloud/inc/PHPUnit/TestSuite.php owncloud/inc/packages/DB.xml owncloud/inc/packages/Log.xml owncloud/inc/packages/Mail.xml owncloud/owncloud/3rdparty/PEAR/Autoloader.php owncloud/owncloud/3rdparty/PEAR/Command.php owncloud/owncloud/3rdparty/PEAR/Command/Auth.php owncloud/owncloud/3rdparty/PEAR/Command/Build.php owncloud/owncloud/3rdparty/PEAR/Command/Common.php owncloud/owncloud/3rdparty/PEAR/Command/Config.php owncloud/owncloud/3rdparty/PEAR/Command/Mirror.php owncloud/owncloud/3rdparty/PEAR/Command/Registry.php owncloud/owncloud/3rdparty/PEAR/Command/Remote.php _______________________________________________ Owncloud mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/owncloud
