I just see that "OracleDB" itself is identical to the "DB" license. So replacements should be as follows (Sorry for the confusion): app-editors/nvi: "Sleepycat" -> "BSD" dev-libs/cryptlib: "Sleepycat" -> "DB" gnome-extra/evolution-data-server: "LGPL-2 Sleepycat" -> "LGPL-2 BSD DB" If there are no objections, I'll commit these changes myself in a week from now. nvi updated, thanks. dev-libs/xqilla-2.1.3-r1 also has Sleepycat in its LICENSE, but should be replaced by Apache-2.0 in this case. All done. Reopening. As discussed in the licenses team, the DB and OracleDB licenses should be unified in a template, because they are identical except for the different copyright holder. The name of the template should follow SPDX naming: <http://www.spdx.org/licenses/Sleepycat> The Sleepycat license is approved as a Free Software license by both FSF and OSI: <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#BerkeleyDB> <http://opensource.org/licenses/Sleepycat> List of packages that need to be updated: app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs dev-libs/cryptlib dev-libs/dbxml gnome-extra/evolution-data-server sys-libs/db All done. "Ravenbrook" and "Roadrunner" are further duplicates. Thanks to angelos for pointing this out. I'm going to fix dev-libs/mps and net-libs/roadrunner. |
