| jcdrake__ | Hi..I have a license query regarding packages.. is this the right place to ask? | 10:53 |
| AlanBell | jcdrake__: what is the question? | 10:55 |
| jcdrake | AlanBell: its about the copyright file seen in /usr/share/doc | 11:01 |
| jcdrake | AlanBell: and about the symlink of /usr/share/common-licensed/GPL | 11:02 |
| jcdrake | AlanBell: In other words, about the license mismatch between the packages and the symlinks | 11:03 |
| popey | can you be more specific? | 11:04 |
| popey | like, a package or program that you think is incorrect? | 11:04 |
| jcdrake | popey: sure..i can give you an example | 11:04 |
| jcdrake | popey: I can find copyright file of cloog-ppl package as "/usr/share/doc/cloog-ppl/copyright" | 11:05 |
| jcdrake | in that I see "See /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL" | 11:06 |
| popey | but the software is GPL-2? | 11:06 |
| jcdrake | which is the symlink to GPL-3, whereas its original license is LGPL 2.1 | 11:07 |
| jcdrake | popey: yes, exactly | 11:07 |
| popey | sounds like a packaging bug | 11:07 |
| popey | someone made a mistake when they created the copyright file | 11:07 |
| jcdrake | is it a mistake or it defines any purpose? | 11:07 |
| popey | looks like a mistake / oversight to me | 11:08 |
| jcdrake | I can see this in many packages.. | 11:08 |
| jcdrake | does ubuntu team uses any automate tool to generate copyright? | 11:08 |
| popey | no, they're generally manually created | 11:09 |
| jcdrake | so what next? Should I post as a bug ? | 11:09 |
| popey | yeah | 11:09 |
| popey | ubuntu-bug <packagename> | 11:09 |
| popey | you could make one bug and assign to lots of packages if you have found a few | 11:10 |
| popey | */GPL is the "current" GPL which is 3 - which was decided by debian | 11:10 |
| popey | same with GFDL | 11:10 |
| popey | probably nobody updated that copyright file when that change occured, thats all | 11:10 |
| popey | and looking at that package - it was last touched in 2008.. | 11:10 |
| popey | you could even fix them yourself ☻ | 11:11 |
| jcdrake | oh..fine.. I should file a bug here? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu | 11:11 |
| popey | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/<packagename>/+reportbug | 11:11 |
| popey | yes | 11:11 |
| popey | insert package name there | 11:11 |
| jcdrake | popey: yes..thats I am gonna do anyway ;) | 11:12 |
| popey | cool | 11:12 |
| AlanBell | I wonder if you could grep for "or later" and see if such packages link to the "current" symlink rather than a versioned license | 11:13 |
| jcdrake | popey: thanks. I could do that.. | 11:14 |
| jcdrake | AlanBell: yes.. | 11:14 |
| jcdrake | I can make a list and post it in the bug which I am gonna create | 11:15 |
| popey | great, thanks jcdrake | 11:18 |
| jcdrake | popey: correct link, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloog-ppl/+filebug ;) | 11:42 |
| jcdrake | popey: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloog-ppl/+bug/1271160 | 12:42 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 1271160 in cloog-ppl (Ubuntu) "License version mismatch" [Undecided,New] | 12:42 |
| jcdrake | preparing the list now... | 12:42 |
| popey | jcdrake: you can add each affected package as a task on the bug, rather than have separate bugs. | 12:43 |
| popey | the "also affects project" button can be used for that | 12:43 |
| jcdrake | popey: OK. Thank you. Once I finished with the list, I could do that | 12:47 |
| jose | popey: ping | 16:41 |
| dholbach | all right my friends - I'm out for today - see you tomorrow! | 17:18 |
| dholbach | big hugs | 17:18 |

| elfy | I did comment - twice it seems, not sure what went on there other than it being sunday | 18:01 |
| jono | elfy, yeah, will fix | 18:03 |
| jono | thanks! | 18:03 |
| jono | jose, btw, I approved your request | 18:04 |
