Hi Rafael, We’ve discussed why a license change is preferable over the span of several years now. I’m happy to explain over the phone, contact me off list and we can talk. -Chris > On Aug 10, 2017, at 8:33 AM, Rafael Avila de Espindola <rafael.espindola at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > I still don't see any j...

Hi all, Now that we’ve settled on the license legalese to get to, we need to start the process of relicensing. We’re still sorting through all of the details of what this will take, but the first step is clear: new contributions to LLVM will need to be under both the old license structure and the new one (until the old structure is completely...

...e to send the URL? Here are some quick points that come to mind: 1. It raises the bar to contribution, because something must be “signed” before a contribution can be made. 2. The Apache CLA is the only widely available one, but it is unsuitable for LLVM’s goals because it allows a project to relicense contributions. 3. Some contributors are significantly concerned with the Apache CLA, partially because of #2, but there are other concerns. Losing contributors would be unfortunate. 4. We do not want a novel legal device (e.g. a new or significantly hacked up CLA). 5. The only way to achieve our...

Unfortunately, our lawyers say that they can't give legal advice in this context. My question would be, what are people looking for that the MIT or 2-clause BSD license don't provide? They're short, clear, widely accepted and very permissive. Another possibility might be to dual-license packages with both an OSI-approved license and whatever-else-you-like, e.g. 'MIT | <my_unusual_license>', but IIUC there's a bunch more complexity ther...

Hello! There is a problem with the current name of the "Xiph license". All the variantions of this name out there imply at least one of these two false assumptions: * that the Xiph license would be a custom license not related to the BSD license at all * that the Xiph license would be based on BSD but is not the same Both is wrong and both hurts Xiph. T...

In prepping our next release, we noticed that the LICENSE.TXT files were still all copyrighted 2015. I've done a bit of archaeology and it looks like the files to update are: cfe/trunk/LICENSE.TXT clang-tools-extra/trunk/LICENSE.TXT compiler-rt/trunk/LICENSE.TXT libclc/trunk/LICENSE.TXT libcxx/trunk/LICENSE.TXT libcxxabi/trunk/LICENSE.TXT lld/trunk/...

By analogy with maintainer(), I suggest extending license() to give the licensing terms of packages as well as R itself when prompted. Below is a small patch in that direction. This won't break anything and imposes no significant maintenance burden; it has the advantage of making it ever so marginally easier to know package licenses. Given the existe...

Please don't use 'Unlimited' or 'Unlimited + ...'. Google's lawyers don't recognize 'Unlimited' as being open-source, so our policy doesn't allow us to use such packages due to lack of an acceptable license. To our lawyers, 'Unlimited + file LICENSE' means something very different than it presumably means to Uwe.

R: This stems from my curiosity about the previous thread about a request for glm.nb code. The issue of package licenses was brought up and I was hoping for some clarification on that. Using the function license() or licence() gives info on the license for R, but something like license(MASS) does not give info on the license for the MASS package (perhaps it might be good to expand the license function in the wa...

My company recently started using a R library from RCRAN that is licensed under the LGPL Version 2 or greater per the DESCRIPTION file, but contains no copy of the LGPL notice, or any copyright notice. I've grown accustomed to paying attention to copyright and licensing as a Debian package maintainer, and sent the author of the package an email expressing my concern...

Hello, CentOS team and everyone who cares about CentOS, Huawei release an Euler OS, which is an distribution based on CentOS. http://developer.huawei.com/ict/en/site-euleros/euleros-introduction According to CentOS's statement, CentOS is distributed under the GPLv2 License. http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7.4.1708/os/x86_64/EULA The GPL license requires the modified version to be open-source AND release in the GPL license, as well. However, Huawei break the GPL license by close-source and replace the license with their proprietary one. How do I find it? Well, I do...

The bulk SPDX addition made all these files into GPL-2.0 licensed files. However the remainder of the project is MIT-licensed, these files (primarily header files) were simply missing the boiler plate and got caught up in the global update. Fixes: b24413180f5 (License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license) Signed-off-by: Ilia Mir...
