So it should be LICENSE="BSD no-source-code"? (In reply to Johannes Huber from comment #1) > So it should be LICENSE="BSD no-source-code"?

No I am not sure which license it is. The only thing which I can find in the .deb package is "Copyright (c) 2016 Discord Inc." located in data.tar.xz:/usr/share/doc/discord/copyright. Several licenses are stated here: https://discordapp.com/acknowledgements. Maybe you have a clue which is relevant?

Looks like we're in muddy waters here. My advice would be: 1. Change the ebuild to: LICENSE="all-rights-reserved" RESTRICT="mirror bindist" 2. Ask upstream for clarification under what license the package is distributed. Depending on their answer, 1. can be revised again.

I have finally an answer via twitter direct message from the official discord twitter accout: "Hey Johannes! Thanks for your patience. I just hit up our Linux guy and he said that we currently do not have a license and its fine to redistribute. We'll work on something formal at some point. I hope that helps!" That mean we could drop the mirror restriction. @Ulm is this sufficient to close the bug? (In reply to Johannes Huber from comment #6) Please leave the bug open (and e.g. set its status to IN_PROGRESS) until the package has a proper license. @Licenses team: Do you have any objections against removing the mirror restriction now? there is "no license" means that no license gives us the right to do xyz.

Arch have this: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/d8ddba860c5a765428b5eb7236668a094d9e622d/trunk/Permission_to_Distribute.mbox (In reply to Sam James from comment #10) > Arch have this: > https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/ > d8ddba860c5a765428b5eb7236668a094d9e622d/trunk/Permission_to_Distribute.mbox That doesn't apply to us, nor to any of our mirror operators. |
