| cub | OvenWerks, I studied some of the copyright files on https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev . But I'm not quite sure how to handle the old ones. I figure I might give one a go, send it to you and/or smartboyhw to check? | 07:17 |
|---|---|---|
| smartboyhw | cub, sure, send it to me and OvenWerks for checking will be good | 07:17 |
| cub | The ones that have old or outdated GPL license texts, should we change those the newer ones? | 07:18 |
| smartboyhw | cub, if it's GPL-2 it is still OK. | 07:19 |
| cub | for instance one I was looking at specified "GPL 2.1" and it said "2.1" in the LIcense text several times, but when comparing to the new one OvenWerks did it just states "GPL 2+" | 07:19 |
| cub | Ok, so I don't need to amend that. | 07:19 |
| smartboyhw | cub, no no no wait (in this case) | 07:20 |
| smartboyhw | Show me one example of it | 07:20 |
| cub | lp:~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntustudio/ubuntustudio-installer and lp:~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntustudio-artwork/ubuntustudio-lightdm-theme | 07:20 |
| cub | the installer OvenWerks updated, the lighted-theme is older and made by falkTX | 07:21 |
| smartboyhw | cub, show me one file that has GPL 2.1. | 07:21 |
| smartboyhw | busy packaging here, so give me a link to one specific file plz | 07:22 |
| cub | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntustudio-artwork/ubuntustudio-lightdm-theme/view/head:/debian/copyright | 07:22 |
| cub | no hurry, I should start up my work-apps. :P | 07:23 |
| smartboyhw | cub, um that's LGPL-2.1+ | 07:24 |
| smartboyhw | That's what you are supposed to use when writing the copyright file... | 07:25 |
| cub | Ah true. | 07:26 |
| cub | I haven't had my coffee yet. | 07:26 |
| smartboyhw | Hmm, the packaging shouldn't have been LGPL though, weird | 07:27 |
| cub | Isn't that up to the author? | 07:31 |
| smartboyhw | cub, well yes, but it is just weird | 07:33 |
| smartboyhw | Packaging should not be LGPL, should be GPL, I will have to talk to falktx it seems | 07:33 |
| cub | perhaps I should start with another package. :P | 07:33 |
| smartboyhw | cub, LOL | 07:33 |
| smartboyhw | cub, don't get distressed:P | 07:34 |
| cub | JHas anyone heard anything more about his plans to port to Debian? | 07:34 |
| smartboyhw | Not from me | 07:36 |
| zequence | cub: smartboyhw: If it's GPL 2.1, then it's 2.1 | 07:48 |
| zequence | especially if we are not the authors, it is not our job to upgrade to a newer license | 07:49 |
| zequence | better respect the initial intention | 07:49 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, it's LGPL, not GPL:P | 09:45 |
| zequence | smartboyhw: The point was not what license it is | 09:50 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, yeah | 09:51 |
| smartboyhw | I know it is not our responsiblity | 09:51 |
| smartboyhw | But, he should use GPL more:( | 09:51 |
| cub | OvenWerks, seems someone already have made a test run with Ubuntu Studio on Xmir: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2165595 check the second post | 12:02 |
| smartboyhw | cub, :O | 12:31 |
| cub | I don't know, grahammechanical in the thread might be someone in here since I don't know everyone here. | 12:33 |
| smartboyhw | cub, no... | 12:35 |
| smartboyhw | Not anybody here I suspect | 12:35 |
| cub | I ran the xubuntu xmir test iso on my two laptops and it worked. So if it's stable and use less or the same amount of resources as it does today I don't really care what runs | 12:44 |
| smartboyhw | We can probably add mir then | 12:45 |
| smartboyhw | But, Xubuntu's decision will be the key to it. | 12:45 |
| smartboyhw | cub, how's your current status on the packages? | 13:15 |
| cub | quite slow. At the moment I only have an hour or two in late evenings if my daughter falls asleep fast….which she seem to prefer not to do. | 13:25 |
| smartboyhw | cub, LOL | 13:25 |
| cub | right now I*m at work | 13:25 |
| smartboyhw | Sure, take your time;) | 13:25 |
| cub | yeah if everything's already done when I've read everything on how to fix them, at least I've learned something new | 13:26 |
| smartboyhw | cub, good. | 13:27 |
| cub | It's busy times here when everyone comes back from vacations, both at work and at home. | 13:28 |
| smartboyhw | cub, ha, I'm still in vacation:P | 13:28 |
| OvenWerks | cub: the lightdm package seems to be a slightly modified "mythbuntu-artwork lightdm theme" I suspect that falktx stuck with the original lic. so there would not be two lic. to list. | 14:07 |
| OvenWerks | The packaged by line seems to be non-standard and really adds no new information. | 14:08 |
| OvenWerks | If the package content is mostly from mythbuntu, then it may be a good idea to check if the copyright should include those authors as well. | 14:10 |
| OvenWerks | Hmm, mythbuntu-artwork is gpl-2+ The package is "abandoned" | 14:18 |
| OvenWerks | There is no lightdm theme in this package. It was last updated aug 2007 (maybe before lightdm?) | 14:19 |
