===============================================

So the issues are:
- Sort out licensing and bundled libs requirements for sha-1.c, base64-decode.c, and ssl-http2.c
- Use the %license macro for license files: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines
- Consider fixing the CMake script installation location putting them in the -devel package

Comment 3 Andy Green 2015-03-11 00:01:03 UTC
Hi I am the library author.

First thanks for taking the time to go through the packaging process for lws.  I use Fedora since it started and lws is written on a Fedora box.  So I will try to resolve these problems.

1) sha-1.c has the following lgpl2 compatible notice

 */

We previously used openssl sha-1, but lws is ported to many platforms and alsa cyassl, so it has its own.  We can add an option to force use of openssl one.

2) base64-decode has the following lgpl2 compatible notice

 * This code originally came from here
 *
 * http://base64.sourceforge.net/b64.c
 *
 * with the following license:
 *

 *                permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so,

 *                be included in all copies or substantial portions of the

 *                SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.

The total code excluding the selftest is ~120 LOC, it's cleaned and optimized compared to the original.  However if Fedora wants to use an external library for it, I can add it as an option if you let me know which one.

3) The code taken from nghttp2 is a trivial amount around correct openssl apis for using alpn, not exported standalone from the original lib.  ssl-http2 has this notice with lgpl-compatible terms

 * Some or all of this file is based on code from nghttp2, which has the
 * following license.  Since it's more liberal than lws license, you're also
 * at liberty to get the original code from

Comment 4 Rich Mattes 2015-03-11 12:49:16 UTC
The bundled library guidelines are mostly about trying to minimize the amount of duplicate code in the distribution for bugfix and security reasons (its easier to update a flaw in a single shared library than it is in 30 copies of sha1.c scattered around the distribution).  For small copylibs like this, an alternative exists where the package needs to add metadata that indicates the copylib's presence, for tracking purposes.

The sha-1.c file already has a standing exception to the bundled library policy, and can be used as-is as long as the proper Provides: are in place as described in the table at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries#Requirement_if_you_bundle.  No action is needed upstream.

b64.c looks like it's in the same boat, and would probably be approved as a copylib by the fpc.  But if it's sufficiently modified from the original implementation, it would probably be considered a fork and OK to include as-is.

The nghttp2 code would probably also be considered a fork since you're just copying a small private API from another project.

So I would file a ticket with the FPC asking them to look at both of these libs and verify that their use is OK before doing any work to port away from them upstream.  I'm reasonably confident that they are, but I'd like to get the official ack.

Comment 5 Daniel O'Connor 2015-06-23 06:12:08 UTC
Hi; for those of us not super familiar - FPC = Fedora Packaging Comittee (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging_Committee?rd=Packaging:Committee)? And all we need to do is log a trac ticket, and attend a meeting or at least ensure it's on the agenda?)

If so, I've raised https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/546 ; which I hope is enough detail but please feel free to expand on it.

Comment 6 Daniel O'Connor 2015-06-26 09:26:47 UTC
From the trac ticket:

Status changed from meeting to closed
Resolution set to accepted

We discussed this at this weeks meeting (​http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2015-06-25/fpc.2015-06-25-16.01.txt):

Comment 7 Jason Tibbitts 2015-06-26 17:02:46 UTC
That's oversimplifying a bit.

The actual ticket says:

ACTION: Bundling of base64/random SSL setup bits. (+1:5, 0:1, -1:0) (geppetto, 17:19:48)

ACTION: Bundling of "custom" sha1 implementation. (+1:3, 0:1, -1:2) … just link to the openssl functions, as you have build options for it. (geppetto, 17:20:04) 

https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/546#comment:2

Comment 8 Rich Mattes 2015-06-28 17:23:10 UTC
So to clarify, the base64 and nghttp2 ssl bits are forks/OK to bundle, and the sha1 implementation should defer to the OpenSSL implementation?

Comment 9 Andrew Elwell 2015-09-04 17:10:50 UTC
Hi - I'm trying to move this forwards now that 1.4 is out (I've got a new spec and srpm) - however the blocker is the FPC request to use the openssl functions for sha1.

I tried to create a trac ticket on libwebsockets.org to request this, but trac threw an internal server error. Hoping you'll (Andy) spot this as you're still subscribed to  this bug.

I can't see a specific version so is
Provides: bundled(base64-decode)
Provides: bundled(ssl-http2)
enough?

Comment 10 Rich Mattes 2015-09-05 15:45:16 UTC
I think those provides are fine.  I'll continue with the review once the new SRPM is posted.

Comment 11 Roger Light 2015-09-29 12:28:43 UTC
Andrew - I know that Andy is happy to accept bug reports on the github issues page: https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/issues

There hasn't been a lot of libwebsockets activity recently though, mostly Andy has just posted to say that he is buried in work.

Comment 12 Andy Green 2015-12-27 01:21:44 UTC
The ability to select at CMake time whether to use inbuilt SHA1 or openssl SHA1 was solved and pushed on 2015-10-15.

https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/commit/4c79ee7598aa6c13716d0b0e27838c97495b1809

The last couple of months I caught up on the backlog and appointed a comaintainer, and we made several releases.

New source rpm

With the attached src rpm I've tried to address the bundling/licensing issues listed in this bug report. 'fedora-review' lists a number of new items for manual review, but I've done as much as my experience allows.

A copr build is available at
https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/acooks/libwebsockets/

Um, sorry about the noise. I was just trying out koji to understand what Fabian was doing, and why. I didn't know that it would automagically find this bug and modify it.

Comment 19 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2016-01-30 16:03:17 UTC
libwebsockets came up as an optional dependency of qlcplus (#1297821).
It would be nice to get this package into Fedora.

Comment 20 Rich Mattes 2016-02-05 13:22:59 UTC
Thanks for tagging me, I missed the latest spec/srpm update.  I will try to finish the review this weekend.

=====================================

Main items:
- Update the License: field to the correct format, verify version of LGPL in use, and add some more comments.

I also thought it was interesting that rpmlint flagged the openssl cipher list, based on the new-ish crypto policy:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:CryptoPolicies
It looks like libwebsockets never sets the cipher list directly, it just provides an "ssl_cipher_list" string in its api for library users, and if the user doesn't explicitly provide a cipher list, the function is not called and the system default is used.

Comment 22 Andy Green 2016-02-08 01:06:33 UTC
I pushed a patch on v1.6-stable (and master)

https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/commit/ebfdb0d24d9555d745d2457d0691a4ae9770624b

It lists in LICENSE the disposition of sources that had other licences.

I also took the opportunity to make the test apps public domain (cc-zero) since they are intended to be adapted by users into their own code without any 'viralness'.

+3) Some sources included have their own, more liberal licenses, or options
+to get original sources with the liberal terms.
+
+Original liberal license retained
+
+  - lib/sha-1.c         - 3-clause BSD license retained, link to original
+  - win32port/zlib      - ZLIB license (see zlib.h)
+
+Relicensed to libwebsocket license
+
+  - lib/base64-decode.c - relicensed to LGPL2.1+SLE, link to original
+  - lib/daemonize.c     - relicensed from Public Domain to LGPL2.1+SLE,
+                          link to original Public Domain version
+
+Public Domain (CC-zero) to simplify reuse
+
+  - test-server/*.c
+  - test-server/*.h

That's tagged as v1.6.3

About the ciphers, yes unless lws has some reason to do something fixed itself, things can be set at runtime by the user code with a reasonable default if not.  As you say the library doesn't enforce anything about ciphers itself but the code using it may do so if it wants.  Otherwise it just uses what the SSL library defaults to.

Format updated and some more comment

%changelog
* Tue Mar 22 2016 Fabian Affolter <mail> - 1.7.4-1
- Update licenses
- Update to latest upstream release 1.7.4

Updated files: 
Spec URL: https://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/libwebsockets.spec
SRPM URL: https://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/libwebsockets-1.7.4-1.fc23.src.rpm

Comment 24 Rich Mattes 2016-03-26 23:48:01 UTC
It looks like the source files all include the following lines:

 *  This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
 *  modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
 *  License as published by the Free Software Foundation:
 *  version 2.1 of the License.

Given that, the License: field of the spec should read LGPLv2 instead of LGPLv2+ (the + is for when the the "or (at your option) any later version" text is included.)

Be sure to fix that before uploading the package.  Otherwise, things look good, and this package is APPROVED.

Comment 25 Fabian Affolter 2016-04-03 13:26:05 UTC
Thanks for the review.

Comment 26 Gwyn Ciesla 2016-04-04 13:56:26 UTC
