Description mejiko 2013-10-15 04:30:20 UTC
Hello.

kate included non-free files. 
Please see GNU Savannah bug number "39677" datails.

I think that this package be affected by GNU Savannah bug number "39677".

Suggests:

1. Remove non-free files and rebuild.

2. Replace fedora free (fedora acceptable licensed) files.

3. Remove fedora repos.

Thanks.

I don't think that even clears the threshold of originality. 
Do what ever you want with it.

---------------------------------

The file kate/syntax/data/lpc.xml says that it's license is "Artistic". It's from 2004, so it's safe to assume that this means the (non-free) Artistic License 1.0. 
There are also some syntax files which don't have their license field filled. I asked in #kate on Freenode. Someone called igli replied that it means that they fall under Kate's license (LGPL2), so that should be ok.

Comment 4 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 15:08:23 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2015-04-16 12:12:16 UTC
The original author's comment is good enough for me.  He argues the contribution isn't copyright'able, and even if it is, "Do what ever you want with it." can mean, relicense it to comply with kde licensing policy.
