Description T.C. Hollingsworth 2013-08-23 04:22:04 UTC
This package contains binary files that are typically excuted by the Flash
player or another similar program.

These files are not permitted in Fedora. [1]  Everything we produce needs to
be built from source. [2]

The offending file(s) shipped in this package are:
/usr/share/glpi/lib/extjs/resources/charts.swf
/usr/share/glpi/lib/extjs/resources/expressinstall.swf

If these files are just a fallback for something that is now supported by modern
web standards like the HTML5 <video> element, please just remove the binaries.

If removing these files would seriously cripple your application, please let me
know so we can figure out a solution.

If you have any questions, please shout.  Thanks!

Comment 1 Remi Collet 2013-08-23 06:41:35 UTC
Package: glpi-0.83.9.1-3.fc20
Tag: f20
Status: complete

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2013-09-17 19:59:34 UTC
Did you check for and  fix this on existing branches (f18, f19, el5, el6) too? Just fixing it for the future is not really enough in the case of a serious licensing issue.

Comment 3 Remi Collet 2013-09-18 04:36:41 UTC
Yes, the fix have been applied in all branches.
