Description Eric Ward 2005-04-06 18:42:06 UTC

Build - 20050401

Problem
When installing the server components of iFolder, all of the packages in YAST 
show that they are either GPL or LGPL. Only the ifolder3-welcome package shows 
that its license type is Novell, Inc.

Solution
The YAST package descriptions should accurately reflect the packages license 
type.

List of Packages and their reported License Type

Comment 3 Juergen Weigert 2005-04-07 10:36:55 UTC

First: 'Novell, Inc.' is not a license. It is the name of a copyright owner. 
 
Second: Chaos rulse here. 
From your list, only the following are known in PDB: 
mod_mono,mono-core,mono-data,simias,xsp,yast2-ifolder3 
These are unknown: 
ifolder3-web,ifolder3-enterprise,ifolder3-java-admin,ifolder-tsa, 
simias-enterprise,momo-web,ifolder3-welcome 
 
So these are built without autobuild --> manual fixing of specfiles needed.

Comment 4 Tim Mellor 2005-04-07 16:20:55 UTC

Updated the following rpms to be of copyright Novell Commercial:
ifolder-java-admin, yast-ifolder, yast-ifolderwebaccess, ifolder-welcome,
ifolder-enterprise, simias-enterprise, ifolder-web-c, ifolder-web-java.  Checked
in 10:30am April 7th for RC1 in head (not yet branched).

Juergen, I'm not sure what you mean by your message.  What exactly needs to be
fixed in the rpm's you mention?

Comment 6 Juergen Weigert 2005-04-08 00:05:38 UTC

I wonder why some of the rpms show up in autobuild, and others don't. 
Autobuild puts in the licensefield found in PDB when building an RPM. 
So you may need to take care when checking in into autobuild... 
 
Other topic: 
What is the exact license that you want for these packages? 
If I read just 'Novell Inc', I would not know if it is proprietary code or if 
source is available; and partners would not know if they are allowed to 
redistribute; etc...

Regessed with the 20050425 build of iFolder
