Blocking FE-Legal. (In reply to Richard Fontana from comment #0) > This file Package, sorry. Note that the current mpich package (version 3) is called "mpich" in Fedora. Richard, you're going to have to be a bit more specific here. In reviewing the source tree, I see that most of the code is under a simple MIT-like permissive license. There is one bundled perl module which is under the Perl (GPL+ or Artistic) license, and the src/armci/* code is BSD. src/include/mpiu_utarray.h is from "uthash", and is BSD. src/pm/hydra/tools/topo/hwloc/hwloc is BSD In fact, the only areas of possible concern I could identify were: 1. the use of the non-free Sun images in src/mpe2/src/slog2sdk/src/images, under this old Sun license: ***** Sun grants you ("Licensee") a non-exclusive, royalty free, license to use, and redistribute this software graphics artwork, as individual graphics or as a collection, as part of software code or programs that you develop, provided that i) this copyright notice and license accompany the software graphics artwork; and ii) you do not utilize the software graphics artwork in a manner which is disparaging to Sun. Unless enforcement is prohibited by applicable law, you may not modify the graphics, and must use them true to color and unmodified in every way. This software graphics artwork is provided "AS IS," without a warranty of any kind. ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED. SUN AND ITS LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED BY LICENSEE AS A RESULT OF USING, MODIFYING OR DISTRIBUTING THE SOFTWARE GRAPHICS ARTWORK. IN NO EVENT WILL SUN OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST REVENUE, PROFIT OR DATA, OR FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE SOFTWARE GRAPHICS ARTWORK, EVEN IF SUN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. If any of the above provisions are held to be in violation of applicable law, void, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such provisions are waived to the extent necessary for this Disclaimer to be otherwise enforceable in such jurisdiction. ***** These end up in jumpshot.jar and logconvertor.jar. Resolution: images have been replaced with files from the Public Domain tango-icon-theme and a CC-BY-SA 3.0 "hands cursor" theme. 2. The source files under ./src/mpid/pamid contain an odd header notice: /* begin_generated_IBM_copyright_prolog */ /* */ /* This is an automatically generated copyright prolog. */ /* After initializing, DO NOT MODIFY OR MOVE */ /* --------------------------------------------------------------- */ /* Licensed Materials - Property of IBM */ /* Blue Gene/Q 5765-PER 5765-PRP */ /* */ /* (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 2011, 2012 All Rights Reserved */ /* US Government Users Restricted Rights - */ /* Use, duplication, or disclosure restricted */ /* by GSA ADP Schedule Contract with IBM Corp. */ /* */ /* --------------------------------------------------------------- */ /* */ /* end_generated_IBM_copyright_prolog */ /* (C)Copyright IBM Corp. 2007, 2011 */ Since I don't know what the GSA ADP Schedule Contract with IBM Corp looks like for this code, I can't be sure whether this is use/duplicated/disclosure restricted. 99% of this code claims to be MIT though, and since this is IBM legal boilerplate, I'm inclined to say it does not affect the license on this code. **** I've fixed #1 in rawhide and I do not believe #2 is a concern. I've corrected the license tag to be "MIT and BSD and CC-BY-3.0 and Public Domain" If there are additional issues, please put them here, otherwise, I will consider this issue resolved. Also, mpich2 seems to be blocked in rawhide, it did not branch for f20. I'm wondering if this package is EOL and just never got properly finished... It has been replaced by "mpich". This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22 Files mentioned in comment #4 are not present in current sources. I looked various files over and I didn't find anything problematic. |
