Bug 548254 – sys-libs/talloc : wrong license (should be LGPL, but declared GPL-3)

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ivan Baidakou (dmol) 2015-04-30 13:52:12 UTC]

Please look at the provided url or at the top of talloc.{h, c} to see the actually used license

Reproducible: Always

[Comment 1 Patrick Lauer 2015-05-05 05:39:49 UTC]

LICENSE="GPL-3 LGPL-3+ LGPL-2 BSD"

It's a lot worse ;) Some parts are gpl-3, some lgpl-3+, some are as-is, BSD, custom license ...

@license team:

Could you please review the random mishmash in talloc source code and check if there's anything wrong/missing with the current LICENSE string?

[Comment 3 Ulrich Müller 2015-05-05 09:11:28 UTC]

The bulk of the package is licensed under GPL-3+ and LGPL-3+.

Then there are in addition:
LGPL-2.1+:   buildtools/wafsamba/tests/*
BSD:         buildtools/bin/waf lib/replace/timegm.c
ISC:         lib/replace/inet_{ntop,pton}.c
POSTGRESQL:  lib/replace/getaddrinfo.{c,h}

I haven't checked which of these are being installed, though.

i've dropped the BSD part.  timegm isn't used with any of our systems because the C library provides it (e.g. glibc).  waf tools don't matter as those are only used to build code -- they aren't part of the installed image.
