Description Miroslav Suchý 2024-09-11 15:58:36 UTC
Package rgbds uses
	
License:	DWPL and ISC and MIT and BSD

The license DWPL is unknown. And I have no clue how to convert it to SPDX id.

The rest of the string can be converted with little effort:

$ license-fedora2spdx  'ISC and MIT and BSD'
Warning: more options on how to interpret MIT. Possible options: ['Adobe-Glyph', 'BSL-1.0', 'Boehm-GC', 'HP-1986', 'HPND-sell-variant', 'HPND', 'ICU', 'MIT-CMU', 'MIT-Festival', 'MIT-Modern-Variant', 'MIT-enna', 'MIT-feh', 'MIT-open-group', 'MIT', 'NTP', 'SGI-B-2.0', 'SMLNJ', 'UnixCrypt', 'Xfig', 'libtiff', 'mpich2']
Warning: more options on how to interpret BSD. Possible options: ['BSD-1-Clause', 'BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD', 'BSD-2-Clause-Views', 'BSD-2-Clause', 'BSD-3-Clause-Modification', 'BSD-3-Clause', 'TCP-wrappers']
ISC AND {{pick MIT choice}} AND {{pick BSD choice}}

If the DWPL is not on SPDX list then please open issue at https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data


Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Benjamin Lowry 2024-09-24 02:11:35 UTC
The insanely-long SPDX string is something I inherited from the previous packager, as rgbds has a long history (the codebase dates back to 1997 and has been relicensed numerous times). The upstream repo appears to have been entirely MIT-licensed since 2018 (https://github.com/gbdev/rgbds/commit/1a5c423984ca6cce1cb0b6b2100836bf4aa56e84 and https://github.com/gbdev/rgbds/commit/c071586ae53965cbdc8c10643b18e68dc9d2d56b), so I will change the SPDX to simply MIT.

(for anyone curious: "DWPL" refers to the Do Whatever Public License, as seen in https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/BQH33QHLD3FRVXYJWG5AUX32PDSBT5GS/)

Comment 2 Benjamin Lowry 2024-09-30 22:33:44 UTC
license string changed to MIT in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rgbds/c/0e3889bec2f8a912cdc0d8431031d296da21e1f5?branch=rawhide
