Bug #: 36747
Summary: Problem with license combinations
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Maintenance scripts
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Hi,
I am the maintainer of the mediawiki package for Fedora EPEL project. While
putting together the package for 1.19 it was found that the license to
maintenance/cssjanus is ASL 2.0 and the license for mediawiki is GPL+2.0. The
GPL 2. and ASL 2. are not "compatible" to the FSF so I am trying to work out my
options and to find out what the mediawiki's projects rationale for bundling
the two items together.
1) cssjanus has a GPL exception to its ASL license that mediawiki knows of.
2) we need to look at mediawiki being used as GPL 3.0 even though it is not
explicitely licensed that way.
Thanks for any clarifications I can get.
