Description Robert Gill 2017-10-05 21:12:41 UTC
games-misc/fortune-mod-all should probably only include games-misc/fortune-mod-sp-fortunes when the 'offensive' USE flag is set.
Comment 1 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2017-10-14 18:52:20 UTC
Besides the taste of the quotes, I even suggest to treeclean this:

Southpark jokes/quotes are copyrighted and likely upstream had to take it down.
https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Wikiquote:Limits_on_quotations

We should check, if we need a RESTRICT="mirror" for most fortune lists.

SRC_URI and HOMEPAGE are down already.

Comment 2 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2017-10-14 18:57:41 UTC
the package fortune-mod-sp-fortunes is set to 
LICENSE="GPL-2" 
which is obviously wrong.
Comment 3 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2017-10-14 19:48:34 UTC
This is similar to the fortune-mod-* packages in bug 450450 where we used LICENSE="fairuse". That may or may not apply here (and it may be questionable for those other packages).

The individual quotes are very short, so that each taken for its own presumably falls under fair use. If that still applies to the collection is another question.
Comment 4 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2017-10-19 16:23:39 UTC
Exactly. A single Starwars joke in a scientific thesis with proper attribution would be fine. But here we see a large database alone.
Its license is the same as the license of the original source.
Comment 5 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2020-02-05 01:11:09 UTC
fortune-mod-all-3 no longer depends on games-misc/fortune-mod-sp-fortunes. Closing.
