Ben Beasley <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #11 from Ben Beasley <[email protected]> --- I had thought I remembered that the GPL family did not explicitly require distributing the license text, but it looks like this memory was wrong, and the license text seems to be pretty clearly required after all. From section 1 of the LGPLv2.1, > You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source > code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and > appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and > disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this > License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this > License along with the Library. That would seem to cover both the source RPM and (since Rust libraries are source-only) the binary RPMs. For compiled code, section 2 says, > You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus > forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such > modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you > also meet all of these conditions: […] so the license text would be required for binaries as well. ---- The relevant section in the guidelines is https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/LicensingGuidelines/#_license_text, but it does not attempt to list license that are known to require, or not to require, distributing the license text. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are always notified about changes to this product and component You are on the CC list for the bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2344240 Report this comment as SPAM: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Bugzilla&format=report-spam&short_desc=Report%20of%20Bug%202344240%23c11 -- _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
