Doc Text:
The webkitgtk4 packages include a bundled Web Open Font Format (WOFF) library. Previously, this library was distributed under the Apache license, which was incompatible with the WebKitGTK+ project license. With this update, the WOFF library has been relicensed to MIT, and as a result, the licenses are now compatible.

Description Tomas Popela 2017-10-09 10:20:32 UTC
Description of problem:
We (upstream) realized, that we ship the bundled woff2 library, but it has the Apache license, that is incompatible with WebKitGTK+ project license. We asked the woff2 upstream about relicensing the project to different library and they've done so - now it has the MIT license. We need to backport the following changes for 7.5: https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/222903/webkit and https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/222960/webkit . 7.4 needs to be fixed as well (but we use older version of WebKitGTK+ so we need to determine what changes we need).

Comment 4 Michael Boisvert 2018-01-04 15:29:13 UTC
It appears all of the necessary licensing changes have been made.
