Description Jens Petersen 2012-11-26 07:46:56 UTC
Description of problem:
I tried to do a quick audit of the man-pages-fr license.
man-pages-fr contains 945 manpages in common with man-pages,
315 coming from other packages, and 64 pages which might
not currently be in Fedora in English.

Therefore since man-pages-fr is a derivative work based
on various packages I think it needs to inherit their
license tags...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
man-pages-fr-3.44-1

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -q --qf "%{name}: %{license}\n" man-pages
2. rpm -q --qf "%{name}: %{license}\n" man-pages-fr
3. 
$ cd /usr/share/man/fr
$ for i in */*; do rpm -qf --qf "%{name}: %{license}\n" /usr/share/man/$i 2>/dev/null ; done | sort | uniq

4.
$ for i in */*; do rpm -qf --qf "%{license}\n" /usr/share/man/$i 2>/dev/null ; done | sort | uniq
  
Actual results:
1. man-pages: GPL+ and GPLv2+ and BSD and MIT and Copyright only and IEEE
2. man-pages-fr: GPL+
4.
BSD
BSD and GPLv2+
GPL+
GPL+ and GPLv2+ and BSD and MIT and Copyright only and IEEE
GPLv2
GPLv2 and GPLv2+
GPLv2 and GPLv2+ and GPLv3+ and LGPLv2+ and BSD with advertising and Public Domain
GPLv2+
GPLv2+ and ISC
GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+
GPLv3+
GPLv3+ and GFDL
LGPLv2+
LGPLv2+ and MIT and GPLv2+
LGPLv3+
MIT
MIT and BSD and ISC and GPLv2
MIT and GPLv2 and GPLv2+ and BSD

(Note not all those licenses necessarily apply to their manpages.)

Expected results:
2. man-pages-fr should have similar license tags to man-pages

Recommendation

Change license tag from GPL+ to the one of man-pages

GPL+ and GPLv2+ and BSD and MIT and Copyright only and IEEE

Additionally tweaks may be needed after full audit.
Upstream should really track this information carefully.

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2012-11-26 07:54:40 UTC
(This also applies to man-pages-es and man-pages-it - and I guess probably
all man-pages-*.)

Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2012-11-26 08:18:57 UTC
Slight correct - above results include a few good guys (false positives):
meaning packages which actually ship with one or more French manpages.(In reply to comment #0)

Comment 6 Jens Petersen 2013-01-28 03:03:47 UTC
Spot pointed out that just blankly inheriting all the licenses from
man-pages is not correct - only licenses listed in the translated
pages should be listed.
