Public bug reported: Hi, JOSM developers here. We found that the license file delivered in Debian/Ubuntu packages for JOSM is outdated and contains some problems.
This problem applies to all versions. >From https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/9590#comment:7 and comments that follow, please consider: - Do not mix JOSM (org/openstreetmap/josm) and JMapViewer (org/openstreetmap/jmapviewer) code, they're distinct products with distinct list of authors - I have updated list of auhors for JMapViewer according to your format, here: https://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/subversion/applications/viewer/jmapviewer/Readme.txt - We won't provide copyright years for JOSM list of authors, however the complete list of authors, in alphabetical order, is here: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/browser/josm/trunk/CONTRIBUTION Can you please stick to this list ? For years, please remove them or make sure they are always correct. - The license appears to be wrong (see above ticket comments for details) - The file src/org/openstreetmap/josm/io/MultiPartFormOutputStream.java does not exist - See our list of external code with authors and license in CONTRIBUTION file - The file images/world.jpg has been deleted 5 years ago: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/changeset/1680/josm - Unless it is ont of external source files listed in CONTRIBUTION, please do not create separate entries for files inside src/org/openstreetmap/josm (like Changeset.java or TigerUtils.java) as the whole JOSM copyright applies. - There's a big problem with copyright for .po files. I do not know where your values come from, but it is more complicated than that. Either remove copyright or use the complete list of contributors for each language. As we are still using Launchpad right now, I assume you are more familiar than us to retrieve this information correctly. ** Affects: josm Importance: High Status: Unknown ** Affects: josm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: copyright license ** Bug watch added: JOSM bug tracker #9590 http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/9590 ** Also affects: josm via http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/9590 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: josm Importance: Unknown => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1273178 Title: Debian/Ubuntu JOSM license file is outdated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/josm/+bug/1273178/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
