Source: openttd Version: 14.0-1 Severity: serious Tags: upstream Justification: Policy 12.5 Control: forwarded -1 https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/12603
Dear Maintainer, The build scripts for the initial version 14.0 release of OpenTTD include a CMake file that determines whether and how to add compile-time flags to request that libatomic should be linked. The relevant CMake file addition was sourced[1] from the LLVM codebase, which is licensed under a variant of the Apache 2.0 license with some exception clauses added for the LLVM project. This is not yet documented in the source package. I'm reporting this bug with severity 'serious' because I feel that there is a potential licensing concern here; until that is confirmed one way or the other, I've offered what I believe is a possible resolution (adding the LLVM license -- slightly confusingly _also_ referred to as v14, because that is the version of LLVM where it was introduced, despite v18 being LLVM-current), to upstream[2]. To explain my reasoning: On balance I'd prefer opening a serious-severity bug to prevent migration (that could later be reduced in severity) than to allow the package transition while being aware of a potential problem. Thanks, James [1] - https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/10513 [2] - https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/12603
