Description:

PySDL2 is a pure Python wrapper around the SDL2, SDL2_mixer,
SDL2_image, SDL2_ttf, and SDL2_gfx libraries. Instead of relying on C
code, it uses the built-in ctypes module to interface with SDL2, and
provides simple Python classes and wrappers for common SDL2
functionality.

The actual license text[1] says,

----

This software is distributed under the Public Domain. Since it is
not enough anymore to tell people: 'hey, just do with it whatever
you like to do', you can consider this software being distributed
under the CC0 Public Domain Dedication
(http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.txt).

In cases, where the law prohibits the recognition of Public Domain
software, this software can be licensed under the zlib license as
stated below:

----

Ignoring for now the mentioned example and documentation files, this appears
much more complicated than LicenseRef-Fedora-Public-Domain. The "Public Domain"
status seems conflated with the CC0-1.0 license, and it is not clear that there
exists a public-domain dedication without the CC0-1.0 terms – which are not
allowed for code in Fedora.

The zlib license option is another wrinkle. This would seem to provide an outlet
for the CC0-1.0 problem, but the license text only says that zlib can be used
“in cases, where the law prohibits the recognition of Public Domain software,”
which is quite different from an “at your option” clause.

The license here needs legal review, at best, and it looks to me like it will
not turn out to be acceptable for Fedora.

Comment 2 Sandro 2024-07-24 18:08:25 UTC
I disagree with your assessment. The first line clearly states "This software is distributed under the Public Domain.". All the rest is for people not knowing what "Public Domain" means or who require a particular license be clearly specified. Those people can opt for one of the other stated licenses.
Also the phrase 'hey, just do with it whatever you like to do' sounds very familiar and appears in a variety of paraphrasings in other Public Domain license, e.g. the infamous WTFPL.

But, since the issue has been raised, I will let Fedora Legal decide.

Comment 3 Ben Beasley 2024-07-24 18:31:45 UTC
Much of the CC0-1.0 software I know of applies the license by conflating CC0-1.0 with the public domain, something roughly like this:

  This software is in the public domain. Specifically, you can use it under CC0-1.0.

So I’m interested to see what Fedora Legal thinks here.

Per https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/update-existing-packages/#_public_domain, uses of LicenseRef-Fedora-Public-Domain require review and recording the text in https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/blob/main/public-domain-text.txt anyway, so the effort won’t be wasted.

Thanks, again. I wasn't aware of `public-domain-text.txt` until now.

The license text has now been submitted:

Package Review
==============

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated

Issues:
=======
- Dist tag is present.

  OK: fedora-review is confused by rpmautospec

- There is a small typo (actuall/actually) here:

    # Make sure we actuall ship the file containing the license

  but it is not very important. Still, you may wish to fix it on import.

===== MUST items =====

Generic:
[x]: Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets
     other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging
     Guidelines.

     The assignment of LicenseRef-Fedora-Public-Domain is supported by Fedora Legal
     opinion, and the text was added to public-domain-text.txt.

     It could be helpful to add a link to
     https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/44KT5NKIT77ZWME464KDBYNH6WBCG4DA/
     to the spec file to assist anyone who comes along later and tries to
     understand the rationale for the License field.

     Everything that is present in the source RPM only seems to have an
     acceptable license. Specifically, I note that tuffy.ttf would be
     LicenseRef-PublicDomain:

       This font, including hint instructions, has been donated to the Public
       Domain.  Do whatever you want with it.

[x]: License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
     Note: Checking patched sources after %prep for licenses. Licenses
     found: "Unknown or generated", "Public domain and/or zlib License",
     "*No copyright* Public domain and/or zlib License". 253 files have
     unknown license. Detailed output of licensecheck in
     /home/ben/fedora/review/2283541-python-pysdl2/licensecheck.txt

     See above.

     Note: There are rpmlint messages (see attachment).

     license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the
     license(s) for the package is included in %license.
[x]: The License field must be a valid SPDX expression.
[x]: Package requires other packages for directories it uses.
[x]: Package must own all directories that it creates.
[x]: Package does not own files or directories owned by other packages.

     beginning of %install.
[x]: Macros in Summary, %description expandable at SRPM build time.
[x]: Package does not contain duplicates in %files.
[x]: Permissions on files are set properly.
[x]: Package must not depend on deprecated() packages.

     work.
[x]: Package is named using only allowed ASCII characters.
[x]: Package does not use a name that already exists.
[x]: Package is not relocatable.
[x]: Sources used to build the package match the upstream source, as
     provided in the spec URL.
[x]: Spec file name must match the spec package %{name}, in the format
     %{name}.spec.
[x]: File names are valid UTF-8.
[x]: Large documentation must go in a -doc subpackage. Large could be size
     (~1MB) or number of files.
     Note: Documentation size is 3534 bytes in 2 files.
[x]: Packages must not store files under /srv, /opt or /usr/local

Python:
[x]: Python eggs must not download any dependencies during the build
     process.
[x]: A package which is used by another package via an egg interface should
     provide egg info.
[x]: Package meets the Packaging Guidelines::Python
[x]: Package contains BR: python2-devel or python3-devel
[x]: Packages MUST NOT have dependencies (either build-time or runtime) on
     packages named with the unversioned python- prefix unless no properly

     use names beginning with python2- or python3- as appropriate.
[x]: Python packages must not contain %{pythonX_site(lib|arch)}/* in %files
[x]: Binary eggs must be removed in %prep

===== SHOULD items =====

[x]: Final provides and requires are sane (see attachments).
[x]: Package functions as described.

     (tests pass)

[x]: Latest version is packaged.
[x]: Package does not include license text files separate from upstream.
[-]: Sources are verified with gpgverify first in %prep if upstream
     publishes signatures.
     Note: gpgverify is not used.
[x]: Package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported
     architectures.

     https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=121216077

[x]: %check is present and all tests pass.
[x]: Packages should try to preserve timestamps of original installed
     files.
[x]: Reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.
[x]: Buildroot is not present
[x]: Package has no %clean section with rm -rf %{buildroot} (or
     $RPM_BUILD_ROOT)
[x]: No file requires outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin.
[x]: Packager, Vendor, PreReq, Copyright tags should not be in spec file
[x]: Sources can be downloaded from URI in Source: tag
[x]: SourceX is a working URL.
[x]: Spec use %global instead of %define unless justified.

===== EXTRA items =====

Generic:
[!]: Spec file according to URL is the same as in SRPM.
     Note: Spec file as given by url is not the same as in SRPM (see
     attached diff).
     See: (this test has no URL)

     OK: the only differences are due to rpmautospec macro expansion

[x]: Rpmlint is run on all installed packages.
     Note: There are rpmlint messages (see attachment).

I'll fix on import. Looks like rpmlint's spell check could be useful, if only...

That's a good idea. I will put it in there. Though, this review has all the required information as well. And that would be _my_ first stop when questioning.
