Comment 1 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2015-06-05 14:12:55 UTC
Taking the review.

I looked up our guidelines for static libraries. Relevant parts is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries. This package follows thems. Fortunately programs linking to mujs will not need FESCo exception ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Programs_which_don.27t_need_to_notify_FESCo).

Is there any plan of mujs providing a shared library?

Where does "and MIT" come from? Afaics, the package is AGPL as a whole, and the only two things which could have a license are the executable and the static library, which are both AGPL.

Some suggestions:
- Add '%global _docdir_fmt %{name}' so there's just one license dir for both subpackages
- 'make install DESTDIR=%{buildroot}' can be replaced with '%makeinstall'

From jsdtoa.c and utf.c, both being used by the library.

This sounds good, I'll consider it.

Probably, however, I don't find it any nicer or better and our guidelines explicitly forbid using it when `make install DESTDIR...' works. (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines?rd=Packaging/Guidelines#Why_the_.25makeinstall_macro_should_not_be_used)


Thanks for the review.

Then this doesn't matter: the license specified is the license of the binary packages (or stuff in the binary packages), which is all AGPLv3+, so the license should be specified as AGPLv3+ [1].

Yikes, I meant %make_install.

The binary is built from source licensed under both AGPLv3+ and MIT terms.  What's the problem here?  Why should the tag list only one fo these two just because upstream doesn't mention the other in the README file?

These files were written by different people and I doubt the mujs author is relicensing them in this project.

I still like the current variant better.

If you combine sources under MIT and GPL (any version of GPL) to produce a binary, the binary is always under GPL. MIT license is "upwards" compatible with GPL, and when you combine both the resulting derived product is licensed with the stronger one, i.e. GPL. This is core requirement of GPL. So the MIT source is not important for the binary packages, because no component of the binary packages is MIT licensed anymore.

OK.

Comment 6 Petr Šabata 2015-06-05 15:16:42 UTC
Okay, that makes sense.

Changed the license tag and added that definition for %{_docdir_fmt}.

Updated SPEC:
