The error message above, regarding explicit-lib-dependency, is just a false positive.

Comment 3 Peter Lemenkov 2011-01-16 10:27:11 UTC
Adding FE-LEGAL until the status of the following files will be resolved:

* src/hex.erl
* src/skerl.erl

It was already confirmed by upstream developer, that the c_src/erl_nif_compat.h  file is licensed under ASL 2.0.

Comment 4 Peter Lemenkov 2011-01-16 10:30:15 UTC
The file c_src/skerl_nifs.c doesn't have any licensing information too.

Comment 5 Narasimhan 2011-03-13 11:54:07 UTC
Hello,
Is there any update from upstream?

Comment 6 Peter Lemenkov 2011-03-13 12:08:58 UTC

> Hello,

Not yet. It seems that adding licensing headers is not among the upstream's top priority tasks. I'll ping them again next week.

Comment 7 Tom "spot" Callaway 2011-06-30 17:12:23 UTC
If we can confirm license with the copyright holder via email, that will be sufficient to resolve this issue.

I'd rather rewrite them (it'll take me a little more time, but I already spent a lot of time cooking this) - I don't want to look like clueless idiot who keeps asking absolutely irrelevant questions.

Guys, honestly I'm really shocked by the fact that the only issue with this huge and technically complex Erlang project (Riak) was the legal origin of these quite simple files. They are so simple that nobody was interested to add legal information to them so far.

Comment 9 Peter Lemenkov 2012-06-16 20:19:39 UTC
Heads up. I finally found a spare time and rewrote problematic files. the same API but with clear licensing erms - MIT (or whatever else - I'm open for suggestions). Also I added unit-tests (see %check section) to ensure that everything still works fine.

Tom, could you please take a look at this package - is it safe to remove FE-LEGAL now?

Comment 11 Tom "spot" Callaway 2012-07-26 14:15:02 UTC
Lifting FE-Legal, thanks for doing this hard work. Try to push these changes upstream!

Comment 12 Narasimhan 2012-07-28 09:14:07 UTC

Sorry, saved it before completing the sentence. Will complete the review.

Lakshmi, Ping! :)

Comment 15 Narasimhan 2012-08-02 03:55:32 UTC
I will complete the review by today.
