Description Bohuslav "Slavek" Kabrda 2012-02-03 11:25:44 UTC
Hi, could you please clarify the license of rubygem-hashery? Your specfile states, that it's ASL 2.0 and GPL+ and (GPLv2 or Ruby), but I can't find any reference to the Ruby license in the source code.

Thanks.

Bohuslav,

Please see this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=653407#c1

Comment 2 Bohuslav "Slavek" Kabrda 2012-02-06 06:34:04 UTC
Hi Marek,
thanks for the response. I see why the Ruby license is present there now, but here is my problem: Since we are migrating from Ruby 1.8.7 to Ruby 1.9.3, which no longer has Ruby or GPLv2 or Ruby, but BSD or Ruby, we need to query all the upstreams what is their choicem if they state it's the "same as Ruby". Would you be so kind as to clarify the license with the author and then possibly fix it, if he decides to use BSD or Ruby?

Thank you.

Asked upstream here: https://github.com/rubyworks/hashery/issues/11

Comment 4 Marek Goldmann 2012-03-27 13:18:05 UTC
Upstream says it'll be "MIT" since version 1.5.1: https://github.com/rubyworks/hashery/issues/11#issuecomment-4660688

Comment 5 Marek Goldmann 2012-06-26 10:20:30 UTC
Version 2.0.0 uses MIT for everything, I changed the license and pushed an update to Rawhide: rubygem-hashery-2.0.0-1.fc18.
