GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 683503
Please clarify license of brasero (GPL-2.0+ or GPL-3.0+)
Last modified: 2018-09-21 17:40:28 UTC
COPYING for brasero is a GPL-2.0 COPYING. There are, however, examples of GPL-3.0 and LGPL-3.0 code in the tree. For example: src/brasero-search-tracker.c src/brasero-search-tracker.h src/brasero-song-control.c src/brasero-song-control.h src/brasero-setting.c src/brasero-setting.h Compiling and linking these files with the rest of the (GPL-2.0+) code in brasero is presumptively fine - but the license of the resulting derived work should be GPL-3.0+, not GPL-2.0+. I guess those headers were automatically created and using GPL-3.0+ by mistake. Can this be confirmed and fixed? Alternatively, can the COPYING file be changed?
