Comment 2 Petr Pisar 2014-10-14 06:53:01 UTC
So the issue with this package is? Is the only problem that I did not requested upstream for a global license file? I cannot see how the request can change current code, but nevertheless there <https://github.com/zeevt/csnappy/issues/21> is the license request.

Comment 3 Florian "der-flo" Lehner 2014-10-15 17:45:46 UTC
Hi!

Quote from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines?rd=Packaging/LicensingGuidelines#License_Text:

"Common licenses that require including their texts with all derivative works include ASL 2.0, EPL, BSD and MIT."

Therefore, it is not enough,just to inform upstream about the missing license text.
So please include a copy of the license text, as part of the Fedora package in %doc, in order to remain in compliance.

Cheers,
 Flo

Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2014-10-16 09:12:32 UTC
I see. Thanks. I think that the guidelines forgets that the licenses require to distribute not only license text, but also copyright notice. So I added a script into the spec file which gathers the data and put them into LICENSE file.

Updated SPEC and SRPM files are on the same addresses.

Hi Petr!

Looks good!

Hi Petr,

I would like this module to be available for EPEL6 and EPEL7, so i can build perl-Compress-Snappy for those environments.  As always, i would be happy to take responsibility for this if required.
