Description Luke-Jr 2010-07-23 01:36:14 UTC
It should be "|| ( BSD CCPL-Attribution-ShareAlike-3.0 ) CCPL-Attribution-3.0 w3c"

But KDE is LGPL, which the CCPL 3.0 licenses aren't compatible with... Is it possible to (based on USE) remove the affected DCMI files (base/dc* I think) without breaking it?

As we talked on IRC, please open an upstream bug about this issue as it is up to them to fix it.
I'm CC'ing trustees in case they want to contribute with their experience or contact our legal experts.

OSCAF upstream bug: https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/oscaf/ticket/78

KDE's Bugzilla is down at the moment.

Not really a matter for trustees.

Adding in the licenses team instead, but I think it's really for the upstreams to work out between themselves.

closing as upstream as we can't do anything (unless we can?) please reopen when they fix their mess

The LICENSE variable can be fixed, at least. It's been a while, but I also seem to recall that the non-free bits *can* be stripped out, but *possibly* with some ramifications/cripplement. A USE flag seems appropriate.
