Petr Menšík <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from Petr Menšík <[email protected]> --- I lack attempt to propose full license text to upstream. I am not even sure what the original license for the work is. It does not seem to be MPL-2.0 from original author. https://www.dxatlas.com/MorseRunner/ says it is freeware. It would not be allowed into Fedora in that case. It seems primary blocker to me. The only thing similar to license seems at the end of the README. https://github.com/zmetzing/MorseRunner/blob/master/Readme.txt#L303 It looks like 0BSD license [1], but without critical line stating copying and redistribution is okay. Without such line I think this cannot be considered open-source or free software. Adding just external MPL-2.0 licensefile to is would be changing license of the other people and is not permitted IMO. In fact, it seems this license is actually BSD-1-Clause like [2], which would not be a free software. But. Okay, I missed that in original Main.pas in oldest commit I could find. Initial VE3NEA commit [3] already contains MPL-2.0 reference. That indeed indicates code should be covered by MPL, even though readme has some partial BSD like license. But especially for this reason, it should be clarified upstream and license file included upstream too, unless it is refused. Created issue #9 on original repository [4], it would be nice to have this clarified by the original author. But I would require at least pull request reference with request to add license file into the current repository source as minimal action. 1. https://spdx.org/licenses/0BSD.html 2. https://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-1-Clause.html 3. https://github.com/VE3NEA/MorseRunner/commit/68972b0af28d74cc15e45f20d440a91ff394ae21#diff-cec3def47689c344e54cac3b2c7dd5f33f4ad5204aec540254959bd35c8bb34cR2 4. https://github.com/VE3NEA/MorseRunner/issues/9 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are always notified about changes to this product and component You are on the CC list for the bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2392425 Report this comment as SPAM: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Bugzilla&format=report-spam&short_desc=Report%20of%20Bug%202392425%23c3 -- _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
