Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2019-09-04 20:29:28 UTC
Newer fedora-backgrounds use this newer version of FAL license:
https://github.com/fedoradesign/backgrounds/commit/e5c006ca133a9f96e4b3a1bc062ac7d05cc3536b

I was wondering about if we could get this added and also about naming it simply FAL-1.3 instead of FreeArt-1.3

Thanks for your help!
Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2019-09-05 06:41:02 UTC
I don't see it in the lists from OSI or SPDX (so especially, it doesn't have an SPDX license identifier).

The FSF has it, which means that we can add it to @FSF-APPROVED-OTHER:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#FreeArt

About the name, it's FreeArt in the FSF's list, and the file name is Free-Art-1.3 in the Fedora commit you referenced. Plus, Fedora uses "Free Art" as short name:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Good_Licenses

So, I'd suggest that we go for Free-Art-1.3, and rename FreeArt to Free-Art-1.2.
Comment 2 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2019-09-05 06:48:37 UTC
I just see that it has an SPDX identifier, namely LAL-1.3:
https://spdx.org/licenses/LAL-1.3.html

Makes me wonder if we should also add the French text, because that's authoritative.
Comment 3 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2019-09-14 21:00:41 UTC
I don't know much about licenses :( 

I would then simply rely on RedHat people for "legal" stuff and provide the same file they are using for Fedora wallpapers:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fedoradesign/backgrounds/master/Free-Art-1.3

Then, what option do you prefer for me to commit? I don't care about the name or append French text too :/

Thanks

I'd go for "Free-Art-1.3". No strong opinion about the French text.

> ... and rename FreeArt to Free-Art-1.2.

Reopening. We've missed the renaming part (and it went under my radar for some reason).
Comment 8 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2021-05-14 12:03:11 UTC
So, I went through the list of ebuilds with LICENSE="FreeArt".

These should be Free-Art-1.3, not FreeArt:
   media-gfx/flameshot-0.6.0
   media-gfx/flameshot-0.9.0
   games-rpg/freedink-data-1.08.20140901-r1
   games-rpg/freedink-data-1.08.20170409

Which leaves the following for renaming:
   games-puzzle/amoebax-0.2.1-r1
   games-puzzle/pipepanic-0.1.3-r2
   games-sports/torcs-1.3.6-r1

That 2 out of 5 packages got it wrong may indicate that the current situation is confusing.
