Description Kurt Nelson 2012-02-27 14:12:18 UTC 
Description of problem:
The afflib/afftools RPMs in the repository were compiled without fuser-devel installed. To use affuser, you have to grab the SRPM and install via that once fuser-devel is installed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.6.12.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install afflib afftools
2. affuser
3.
  
Actual results:
affuse: FUSE support is disabled.
affuse was compiled on a Linux system that did not
have the FUSE developer libraries installed
You need to install the fuse-devl package.

Expected results:
affuse quick help

Additional info:
Comment 1 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2012-02-27 15:10:35 UTC 
From the said afflib.spec file:
# GPLv2 FOSS incompatible with BSD with advertising
##BuildRequires:  fuse-devel

So far afflib is still licensed as "BSD with advertising" so we can't redistribute it once linked with a GPLv2+ software.
Comment 2 Kurt Nelson 2012-03-05 12:39:44 UTC 
I contacted Simon Garfinkel, one of the creators and he said he is going to relicense it without the advertising clause.
Comment 3 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2012-03-10 15:33:16 UTC 
Understood, but please only reopen when the relicensing is actually done.
Comment 4 Elia Geretto 2017-05-29 16:23:46 UTC 
I run into the issue described on Fedora 25. Is there any news on the licensing side?
