Description: 
Python implementation of the Unicode Collation Algorithm (UCA). It
passes 100% of the UCA conformance tests for Unicode 5.2.0 (Python
2.7), Unicode 6.3.0 (Python 3.3+), Unicode 8.0.0 (Python 3.5+), Unicode
9.0.0 (Python 3.6+), and Unicode 10.0.0 (Python 3.7+) with a
variable-weighting setting of Non-ignorable.

Comment 1 Sandro 2023-10-03 23:32:23 UTC
This is a new dependency for Spyder in the upcoming 6.x release. I'm currently looking into updating rawhide to the latest pre-release, 6.0.0a2 (RPM: 6.0.0~a2).

The Copr build includes a fedora-review analysis.

Comments:
a) Koji build:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=107042796
b) license text at:
https://github.com/jtauber/pyuca/blob/master/LICENSE-allkeys
differs a little from ICU license text:
https://spdx.org/licenses/ICU.html
Would be helpful for legal to check this.

Comment 3 Sandro 2023-10-04 09:12:27 UTC
Thanks for the review. I agree, a license review for the ICU license is needed. SPDX Diff gave me a ~70% match.

Should I sent a mail to fedora-legal mailinglist or will this be picked up automatically since it blocks the tracker bug?

Comment 4 Sandro 2023-10-04 12:52:38 UTC
I had a look at pyuca/allkeys*.txt. They all contain a link in the header to the Unicode Terms of Use (http://www.unicode.org/terms_of_use.html), which redirects to https://www.unicode.org/copyright.html. In there, they refer to Unicode Data Files and Software License: https://www.unicode.org/license.txt

However none of the Unicode-* licenses is a perfect match and even when I diff the license.txt, the SPDX License Diff plugin I use in my browser, still suggests ICU is the closest match. I'm afraid the license needs to be added akin to Unicode-DFS-2016 (https://spdx.org/licenses/Unicode-DFS-2016.html) if it's permissible at all.

:sigh:

Comment 5 Benson Muite 2023-10-04 14:55:43 UTC
File an issue at https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues

Comment 6 Richard Fontana 2023-10-04 19:17:31 UTC
Yes, please file a Fedora License Data issue. What are likely similar Unicode issues have come up in review of other packages and in some cases we have concluded that the license is inoperative or is not really the Unicode ToU.

Comment 7 Richard Fontana 2023-10-04 19:17:53 UTC

It seems the license referred to (in the files themselves) has already been submitted for review by Miroslav Suchý as Unicode License v3 (https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/314). It's currently pending OSI approval and SPDX identifier assignment.

However the license text in `LICENSE-alltext` (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jtauber/pyuca/v1.2/LICENSE-allkeys) does not match the license text submitted by Miroslav (https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/issues/2105#issuecomment-1701165975). It's missing the first and the fourth paragraph. So, if Unicode License v3 makes it into SPDX, what needs to be done about `LICENSE-alltext`?

Or, since the situation for `pyuca` is a bit murky, should I submit a separate license review request, anyway?

s/LICENSE-alltext/LICENSE-allkeys/g

I'm getting confused already...

Comment 10 Benson Muite 2023-10-05 05:35:24 UTC
The latest version of the data files seems to be under v3 license:
https://www.unicode.org/Public/UCA/latest/allkeys.txt
May need to check for license text associated with each allkeys.txt
release from Unicode consortium and/or Internet Archive Wayback Machine.
The license text does not have an "or later" clause.

Comment 11 Sandro 2023-10-14 10:23:25 UTC
Formal license review submitted. Seeing all the different `allkeys*.txt` files with different dates, referring to different versions of the Unicode license, this will be fun. ;-)

Comment 12 Sandro 2024-03-08 13:07:14 UTC
Based on the feedback from legal I've submitted https://github.com/jtauber/pyuca/pull/28 and am currently waiting on upstream to respond. Based on the feedback in https://github.com/jtauber/pyuca/issues/27 I'm rather confident this will be merged in due time.

Is it an option to proceed with this review applying the PR as a patch? It seems pretty clear that all the Unicode character encodings are governed by the Unicode-3.0 license with legal even suggesting that "mere character encodings ought not be seen as requiring a license".[1]

This is no longer blocking Legal. I'd like to proceed. This is the last hurdle for releasing Spyder 6.0.0a4.
