Description

libidn 1.x is LGPL v3, so the precondition for upgrading is that all dependant packages are LGPL v3-compatible. That's not the case currently; there is at least one dependant package licensed GPLv2-only (elinks) and numerous which don't have correct License tags. Current list of source RPMs which produce binaries which depend on libidn, and are not GPLv2+ or LGPLv2+ or GPLv3 bind-9.5.0-25.b1.fc9.src.rpm ISC callweaver-1.2-0.4.rc5.20071230.fc9.src.rpm GPLv2 curl-7.18.0-1.fc9.src.rpm MIT echoping-5.2.0-3.fc9.src.rpm GPL elinks-0.11.3-7.fc9.src.rpm GPLv2 iputils-20070202-7.fc9.src.rpm BSD kcemirror-0.1.5-1.fc7.src.rpm GPL kchmviewer-3.0-2.fc7.src.rpm GPL kdelibs3-3.5.8-22.fc9.src.rpm LGPLv2 kdenetwork-4.0.1-2.fc9.src.rpm GPLv2 kmobiletools-0.4.3.3-3.fc6.src.rpm GPL knemo-0.4.7-1.fc7.src.rpm GPL libsilc-1.1.5-2.fc9.src.rpm GPLv2 or BSD metamonitor-0.4.5-3.fc6.src.rpm GPL mugshot-1.1.56-1.fc8.src.rpm GPL oooqs2-1.0-3.fc6.src.rpm GPL perl-Net-LibIDN-0.09-4.fc8.src.rpm GPL+ or Artistic quadkonsole-2.0.2-1.fc7.src.rpm GPL synce-kde-0.9.1-1.fc7.src.rpm GPL yakuake-2.7.5-4.fc7.src.rpm GPL Hum. Should we revisit this now? Looking at the current upstream version I see in the README: "The C library (libidn.a), C# library (Libidn.dll) and Java library (libidn-*.jar) are licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 or later. See the file COPYING.LIB. The command line tool, self tests, examples, and other auxilliary files, are licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3.0 or later. See the file COPYING." So, I think you could have the devel subpackage LGPLv2+ and the main package with the command line tool, etc be GPLv3+. Does that satisfy the dependent packages? midori needs this updated to get idn support, which would be nice to have. :) I'll leave it to you if this is worth re-opening. Major DOH! Wow, what an idiot, I completely missed that. Thanks a lot Kevin. Building 1.9 to Raw Hide right now. |
