Spec URL: http://oget.fedorapeople.org/review/unalz.spec SRPM URL: http://oget.fedorapeople.org/review/unalz-0.63-1.fc10.src.rpm Description: Unalz is a utility to decompress .alz files. It supports bzip2/raw format transformation, splitting the compressed file into smaller chunks (alz, a00, a01, ...), extract password protected .alz files, and CRC checks. rpmlint is silent. I had submitted this package before (bug# 477106) but it got rejected because (with the help of friends at #fedora-devel) we figured that the project webpage said: - it is free as in cost, but you are prohibited from on commercial distribution in magazines or CD - it allows distribution only unmodified and patches must be distributed separately. And the tarball did not contain a license file. Now all of these issues seem resolved. The tarball contains a zlib license and the non-free clauses at the project webpage [1] are replaced via zlib license [2]. This package still might have a patent issue (although I couldn't find one) because it is a decompressor of the commercial compressor Alzip [3]. It should be checked by FE-LEGAL to verify that it's OK to distribute this on Fedora. [1] http://www.kipple.pe.kr/win/unalz/ [2] http://www.kipple.pe.kr/etc/zlib_license/ [3] http://www.altools.com/
Version update: Spec URL: http://oget.fedorapeople.org/review/unalz.spec SRPM URL: http://oget.fedorapeople.org/review/unalz-0.64-1.fc10.src.rpm It looks like the author put the license information on more source file headers.
ALZ is either a hacked up bzip2 or DEFLATE, depending on the version of ALZip used to create the file. There are no patent concerns here. Lifting FE-Legal.
This is a simple package; it builds fine and rpmlint is silent. Review: OK source files match upstream: 974ff01225273f1ef70c5f1a2d27d25b219bc43719f90ea80e550feaab46876f unalz-0.64.tgz OK package meets naming and versioning guidelines.
