Description mejiko 2013-10-01 10:37:23 UTC 
Hello.

SRC rpm is : perl-Net-Patricia-1.20-2.fc19.src.rpm

perl-Net-Patricia license tag is broken. (not vaild license tag)

See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines?rd=Packaging/LicensingGuidelines#.22Distributable.22


I see copyright notice text.

copyring notice file list:

A) Net-Patricia-1.20/COPYING
B) Net-Patricia-1.20/libpatricia/copyright

I think that "A" is GPLv2, "B" is 4-cause BSD License.
4-cause BSD License is GPL incompatible. (Adversing cause)

I think that this is license problem and non-free.

Note: GPL and 4-cause BSD License is free, fedora acceptable licenses.


Suggests:

1. resolve license problem (if this is license problematic) and fixing license tag.

2. Remove fedora repos.

3. contact upstream author.


Thanks.

Blocking FE-Legal, I think that this is license problem.
Comment 2 mejiko 2014-03-15 10:08:25 UTC

Thanks.
Comment 3 Philip Prindeville 2014-03-16 17:10:08 UTC 
Working on a fix, as per the Licensing Guidelines.

Will mark the Perl parts "GPLv2+" and the libpatricia part "BSD with advertising".
