Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Richard W.M. Jones 2014-02-04 13:10:17 UTC

Description of problem:

Matt Booth was doing the PackageWranger review of libguestfs and
we noticed there was a bogus license file (daemon/COPYING) which
asserted that the daemon was under GPLv3.  It is not, it is under
GPLv2+, and we have removed that file from upstream:

https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/d5b540153fa91230524133c09c879199b8e2d902

Normally I would ignore this, but because of bug 1061155 it
looks like we are going to do another build anyway, so we can
fix this at the same time.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libguestfs-1.22.6-18.el7

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check out the SRPM.
2. Apply all patches (ie. do 'rhpkg prep').
3. Check daemon/COPYING file.

Actual results:

This file exists and says the daemon is under GPLv3.

Expected results:

This file should not exist.  The daemon is under GPLv2+ as
asserted in individual files and by COPYING in the top level
directory.
