GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 750214
Bad license notices
Last modified: 2015-06-22 15:52:41 UTC
The COPYING file at the top level of the source tree contains the GPLv2. The about box in src/dfeet/application.py contains: self.set_license_type(Gtk.License.GPL_2_0) However, the file src/dfeet/window.py contains the following: # D-Feet is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or # (at your option) any later version. Some parts of the source code contain GPLv2 notices, some parts contains GPLv3 notices. Plainly this is an issue and I would expect legally problematic. In addition, the following files under src/dfeet/ contain no copyright or licensing notices at all: addconnectiondialog.py, application.py, bus_watch.py, dbus_utils.py, executemethoddialog.py, introspection.py, introspection_helper.py, uiloader.py and wnck_utils.py. The file settings.py contains no copyright notice and incomplete license information.
Solved at least the problem with GPL2 vs GPL3.
