[20:11] <meebey> Sikon: I wasn't finished with my tests yet, as the license show stopper hit me
[20:11] <Sikon> Ah.
[20:11] <meebey> Sikon: and I will write a upgrade detection for sqlite2 users
[20:11] <Sikon> License show stopper?
[20:12] <meebey> Sikon: yes, f-spot contains GPL incompatible and non-free licensed code
[20:12] <dmoonfire> Yeah, that makes life difficult. :)
[20:12] <meebey> Sikon: we are trying to convince upstream of that code to relicense to MIT or LGPL
[20:12] <Sikon> o_O
[20:12] <meebey> if he is not willing to change the license, we will escalate the issue to f-spot upstream (novell)
[20:13] <Sikon> How did that make it into Debian and Ubuntu in the first place?
[20:13] <meebey> and f-spot will be removed from debian/stable
[20:13] <dmoonfire> Lack of code-level review, probably.
[20:13] <meebey> Sikon: maintainers that didn't check the code like I did
[20:13] <meebey> errrr unlike me
[20:13] <meebey> as I found it, debian/copyright was a joke
[20:14] <meebey> previous maintainers are ondrej and andrew, at the time ondrej created f-spot it didnt contain the code
[20:15] <meebey> I did even track the version down
[20:15] <meebey> the code entered f-spot between 0.1.2 and 0.1.3
[20:15] <Sikon> What code is that?
[20:15] <meebey> Sikon: semweb/*
[20:15] <meebey> Sikon: CC-BY / CCPL licensed
[20:15] <meebey> a non-free license
[20:16] <meebey> and not GPL compatible (and f-spot is GPL effective)
[20:16] <dmoonfire> Wouldn't that move it to non-free then?
[20:16] <meebey> Sikon: take a look at my debian/copyright report
[20:16] <meebey> Sikon: it's in SVN
[20:16] <meebey> dmoonfire: nope, its not legal
[20:16] <meebey> dmoonfire: it violates the GPL license by itself
[20:16] <dmoonfire> Ah, true,
[20:17] <meebey> it can't be used with GPL code
[20:17] <dmoonfire> Forgot about the viral part of both.
[20:17] <meebey> ;)
[20:17] <meebey> for now, we work with the author of semweb, maybe things work out
[20:17] <meebey> I wold like to avoid fuss
[20:18] <dmoonfire> If they don't, can you do a dpatch to remove it?
[20:18] <meebey> nope
[20:18] <meebey> f-spot relies in it deeply
Так...
