[Spacewalk-devel] spacewalk-search declared as GPL-2.0 but contains Apache licenses
Hello, the 'spacewalk-search' package is (according to spacewalk-search.spec) licensed as GPLv2, but apparently it contains numerous Apache licenses throughout the files listed below. The GPL-2.0 and the Apache licenses are not compatible with each other, according to the Free Software Foundation: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#apache2. This does most likely not pose a problem for the package, as the files appear to be mostly content as opposed to code. Could you still please confirm that the Apache licensed files are not actually being linked with GPL files? I guess you would have to add both license texts to the package and it should be reflected in the specfile (spacewalk-search.spec) as well: License: GPLv2 -- License: GPL-2.0 and Apache-2.0 Thank you, Johannes Renner Please see the list of files here: spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/hadoop-0.18.1-core/bin/hadoop spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/hadoop-0.18.1-core/bin/hadoop-config.sh spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/hadoop-0.18.1-core/bin/hadoop-daemon.sh spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/hadoop-0.18.1-core/bin/hadoop-daemons.sh spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/hadoop-0.18.1-core/bin/rcc spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/hadoop-0.18.1-core/bin/slaves.sh spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/hadoop-0.18.1-core/bin/start-all.sh spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/hadoop-0.18.1-core/bin/start-balancer.sh spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/hadoop-0.18.1-core/bin/start-dfs.sh spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/hadoop-0.18.1-core/bin/start-mapred.sh spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/hadoop-0.18.1-core/bin/stop-all.sh spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/hadoop-0.18.1-core/bin/stop-balancer.sh spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/hadoop-0.18.1-core/bin/stop-dfs.sh spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/hadoop-0.18.1-core/bin/stop-mapred.sh spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/ibatis-2.3.0.677/com/ibatis/sqlmap/engine/builder/xml/sql-map-2.dtd spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/ibatis-2.3.0.677/com/ibatis/sqlmap/engine/builder/xml/sql-map-config-2.dtd spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/ibatis-2.3.0.677/license.txt spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/lucene-analyzers-2.3.2/META-INF/LICENSE.txt spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/lucene-core-2.3.2/META-INF/LICENSE.txt spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/buildconf/tempjars/nutch-2008-12-01_04-01-21/nutch-default.xml spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/nutch/crawl_jsp/conf/automaton-urlfilter.txt spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/nutch/crawl_jsp/conf/common-terms.utf8 spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/nutch/crawl_jsp/conf/configuration.xsl spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/nutch/crawl_jsp/conf/context.xsl spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/nutch/crawl_jsp/conf/crawl-tool.xml spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/nutch/crawl_jsp/conf/crawl-urlfilter.txt spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/nutch/crawl_jsp/conf/domain-suffixes.xml spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/nutch/crawl_jsp/conf/domain-suffixes.xsd spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/nutch/crawl_jsp/conf/nutch-default.xml spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/nutch/crawl_jsp/conf/parse-plugins.xml spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/nutch/crawl_jsp/conf/prefix-urlfilter.txt spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/nutch/crawl_jsp/conf/regex-normalize.xml spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/nutch/crawl_jsp/conf/regex-urlfilter.txt spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/nutch/crawl_jsp/conf/subcollections.xml spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/nutch/crawl_jsp/conf/tika-mimetypes.xml spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/scripts/lukeall-0.8.1/META-INF/LICENSE.txt spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/scripts/lukeall-0.8.1/xml/about.xml spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/task-lib/commons-beanutils-1.7.0/META-INF/LICENSE.txt spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/task-lib/commons-logging-1.0.4/META-INF/LICENSE.txt spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/task-lib/commons-logging-1.0.4/org/apache/commons/logging/impl/package.html spacewalk-search-git-0.fd73b43/task-lib/commons-logging-1.0.4/org/apache/commons/logging/package.html -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer ___ Spacewalk-devel mailing list Spacewalk-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel
