Hello
I've submitted a review request for an RPM of Yoshimi for Fedora. The
request is at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694994
One thing that's come up is that different parts of the source have
different licences (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694994#c3).
I would guess this is a difference between the original/modified Zyn
files and those created from scratch by Alan.
In any case, I would be grateful if you could clarify this as the
current situation with two incompatible licences is problematic.
Hi,
Are you sure they're incompatible? When yoshimi got serious, I put some effort
into getting my head around the licensing issues. If I've got it wrong, I'm
keen to correct things, but here's how I read things:
- everything in original zyn is strictly gpl2
- the overall application is tagged gpl2
- given those two, the yoshimi application should also be tagged gpl2
- I preferred everything I wrote to be gpl3
- as I read the licensing relationships, I couldn't see a problem with a gpl2
app
including gpl3 source files.
Am I wrong?
cheers, Cal
