Bug 50412 – Academic License v.2

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Thilo Bangert (RETIRED) (RETIRED) 2004-05-07 15:02:16 UTC]

hal is dual licensed Academic-2 and gpl-2

/usr/portage/licenses/Academic
is Academic Free License v 1.2
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/academic.php

this is a request to add the Academic Free Licenses v 2.0 eg. as 
/usr/portage/licenses/Academic-2
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/afl-2.0.php

sorry, what package needs this again?  We generally only add new licenses to
portage when adding a package to portage that needs it so clairification is
necessary.  Thanks.

hal is licensed academic 2

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/hal

i have an ebuild laying around, but it doesn't build cleanly yet. i might be able to commit it in the next couple days...

[Comment 3 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-05-07 21:19:31 UTC]

The license can be attached as text/plain along with the ebuild when/if you
submit it.  It's the responsibility of the developer who adds the ebuild to
portage to also add the license so it would be done at that time.

I'm going to mark this bug as INVALID since I want it to be handled as I've
described here, not because the license is invalid or anything like that.
Thanks.
