Description mejiko 2016-10-05 09:41:27 UTC 
Hello.

SDL included non-free code.
See debian bug number "814445" details.

File List:

SDL-1.2.15/src/stdlib/SDL_qsort.c


I suggest that resolve license problem.
Thanks.

Comment 1 Petr Pisar 2016-10-05 10:16:01 UTC 
Indeed. Thank you for the report. I will remove the file.
Comment 2 Tom "spot" Callaway 2016-10-05 14:46:25 UTC 
You do not need to remove the file. Upstream got permission from the copyright holder to relicense it:

https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/2e3396e62aa6

You can replace the file in SDL with the version in hg, or simply leave it as is, as the upstream copyright holder has effectively relicensed all versions of qsort under the zlib license.
Comment 3 Petr Pisar 2016-10-05 15:16:50 UTC 
I cannot understand why is it retroactive, but I will trust you. I will unpush the changes and put a comment into spec file.
Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-25 09:36:50 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 5 Petr Pisar 2016-11-25 11:26:08 UTC 
Per Fedora legal department, this is not an issue for Fedora.
