Created attachment 298175 [details] LICENSE.Fedora in their RPM for mecab-ipadic-2.7.0 (In reply to comment #0) > More information on the license can be found here > http://wiki.debian.org/IpadicLicense tl;dr (what a mess - why are they discussing all this unrelated stuff?) Attached is Fedora's assessment of the license which is much clearer. I think that we can follow them and add ipadic to @MISC-FREE. Created attachment 298177 [details]

(In reply to comment #1) > (In reply to comment #0) > > More information on the license can be found here > > http://wiki.debian.org/IpadicLicense > > tl;dr (what a mess - why are they discussing all this unrelated stuff?) yes, this seems to be a long story on Debian. but "Short Summary of Issues" is enough to understand their issue. http://wiki.debian.org/IpadicLicense#Short_Summary_of_Issues and as you know, ipadic and mozc package in Debian has accepted for their "main" repository currently. according to Osamu Aoki, one of Debian Developer, "ipadic license" is regarded as "BSD-3-Clause with ICOT term". http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/i/ipadic/current/copyright AFAIU, There are acceptable reasons to be in "main". "ipadic license" meets the conditions for MISC-FREE. I propose to review this issue due to Bug 411593. thanks, Added to MISC-FREE license group. Sorry for the delay. |
