Comment 1 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2017-08-21 13:52:06 UTC
Hello,

 - It seems that the license is LGPL3 not GPL3 https://github.com/sieren/QSyncthingTray/blob/master/LICENSE.txt

I'll review it later when Github servers are not down :| But the SPEC looks fine.

Comment 2 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2017-08-21 14:50:40 UTC
Everything else is good, so just fix the license and I'll accept your package.

Comment 3 Fabio Valentini 2017-08-21 15:44:10 UTC
The sources contain what looks like a copylib in sources/contrib, which is licensed under a GPLv3+ license - this (as far as I know) forces the whole project to be "GPLv3+". I might be wrong, though.

Comment 4 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2017-08-21 16:49:07 UTC
I don't know for sure, please ask a FE:Legal person or ask on fedora-devel.

Comment 5 Fabio Valentini 2017-08-21 18:49:09 UTC
Ok, blocking FE-Legal for final confirmation on the license part - just to make sure / be safe.

The situation is:
- QSyncthingTray sources are licensed LGPLv3+
- one copylib (?) in sources/contrib is licensed GPLv3+

My opinion is that - since the compiled copylib (GPLv3+) is linked into the final binary - the resulting license must be GPLv3+ (or at least "LGPLv3+ and GPLv3+", but that doesn't look right). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Comment 6 Fabio Valentini 2017-09-24 08:36:13 UTC
I've lost interest in maintaining an official package of QST, since I have discovered that it has some issues on fedora - and I'm not even using it myself. For now, it'll continue to be available via COPR for the ~one person who uses it. Sorry about the noise.
