Description Mikolaj Izdebski 2012-08-16 07:17:08 UTC
Description of problem:
fop includes non-free elements. Quoting from
./antlr-2.7.7/examples/java/unicode.IDENTs/ShowString.java:

> Copyright (c) 1995-1998 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

This license is non-free because it doesn't allow commercial use.
Please remove non-free parts from Fedora.

This bug affects all supported or developed Fedora releases, from F16 to F19.

Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2012-08-16 14:15:03 UTC
These two files (ShowString.java) and (StreamConverter.java) were relicensed under the BSD license by Oracle in 2008 (or earlier):

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/displayCode.html?code=http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/text/examples/ShowString.java

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/displayCode.html?code=http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/text/examples/StreamConverter.java

Thus, these files are actually now Free, even if their license header is out of date. I will make a patch to correct it, apply it in rawhide, and send it upstream.

Comment 2 Milos Jakubicek 2012-08-16 14:18:33 UTC
Tom, thanks, I was about to remove that example. Not sure about sending it upstream, antlr2 has been obsoleted for quite some years, but, well, you can give it a try.

Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2012-08-16 14:22:55 UTC
Yeah, I just noticed the same thing. I'll just attach the patch here for you to apply to rawhide. :)

Lifting FE-Legal, as this is not a blocker, just something we should fix in rawhide.
