Description Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2010-06-11 18:36:57 UTC
Description of problem:
ipython has many licenses (BSD, MIT, Python, and GPLv2+).  The License tag needs to be updated to mention all of these:

License:        (BSD and MIT and Python) and GPLv2+

The BSD, MIT, and Python licenses are part of ipython itself.  The GPLv2+ license is used on an "extension" and therefore outside of the paranthesis (and doesn't override the other licenses).

Comment 1 Thomas Spura 2010-06-11 21:26:01 UTC
Thanks!

I changed this locally without commiting yet to CVS etc to:
 11 # See bug #603178 for a quick overview for the choice of licenses
 12 # most files are under BSD and just a few under Python
 13 # There are some extensions released under GPLv2+ and (PSF or ZPL)
 14 License:        (BSD and MIT and Python) and GPLv2+ and (PSF or ZPL)


After a grep thought the current git repo [1], I found this file:
IPython/external/simplegeneric.py:7:#License: PSF or ZPL

I don't know what PSF should be and ZPL does not exist as a fedora license. There is just ZPLv1.0 or ZPLv1.1 or ZPLv2.0. I quess, I need to ask upstream (ipython upstream and possible the main author of this extension).

Am I right?

Comment 2 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2010-06-11 22:25:25 UTC
Correct about needing to clarify the ZPL version.  PSF == Python.  

An your mention of that file actually triggered another memory I had from reviewing the source :-(  The IPython/external directory is full of bundled libraries.

In this case, it might help us as python-simplegeneric is in Fedora so we can just use that and not need to worry about the licensing.

Want a new bug on the externals after I track down what's in there?
