GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 781036
Licensing cleanup
Last modified: 2017-04-15 21:05:46 UTC
Hi, while packaging gnome-games-app for Debian, I noticed some licensing discrepancies. The licenses are fine (you can license your software however you wish and the licensing is not a problem for distribution in Debian), but from the conversation on IRC, it sounds like they may not be intentional. I'm filing a bug so that this is easier to track. 1. The org.gnome.Games.svg app icons have metadata that says they are CC-BY-SA-3.0. 2. All of the Vala files that have licensing info say they are licensed as GPLv3 (that's GPL-3 only). On the other hand, the appdata metadata claims the project is GPL-2+.
3. flatpak/libretro-cores/gambatte.libretro should list the license as GPL-2.0 not GPL-2.0+
Created attachment 349554 [details] [review] Fix license in file headers Replace mention of GPLv3 by GPL-3.0+ as initially intended in the file headers.
Created attachment 349555 [details] [review] appdata: Fix the project license Remove mention of "and GPL-2.0+" as the project as a whole is GPL-3.0+ only.
Created attachment 349556 [details] [review] icons: Fix some metadata Fix the authors, name, tags and license of different org.gnome.Games.svg files. Make the license match the one of the project: GPL-3.0+.

Thanks. Do you want to make retro-gtk GPL-3+ also? (it's currently GPL-3 only, according to the source file headers)
