class="">
<br class="">
during latest reviews of packages building on core cluster<br
class="">
infrastructure, it turned out there is a frequented
(viral?) issue<br class="">
with source files declaring unusual licence: GPLv2.1+.<br
class="">
<br class="">
Affected packages breakdown is at the bottom, including<br
class="">
(possibly non-exhaustive) contributors that knowingly or
unknowingly<br class="">
contributed under that file-local license.<br class="">
<br class="">
Now, it is highly questionable what was asserted by this
license<br class="">
reference by particular contributors. The fact is that
such a license<br class="">
does not exist. So the logical implication and view of
the situation<br class="">
is that affected files are effectively licensed under
GPLv3+.<br class="">
<br class="">
The other possible view is that it's actually a typo
arising from<br class="">
LGPL2.1 vs. GPLv2 confusion, and then again it's unclear
which one<br class="">
should apply.<br class="">
<br class="">
Therefore I would like to start moving towards resolution
of this<br class="">
issue by soliciting feedback amongst affected contributors
(CC'd)<br class="">
which direction is preferred:<br class="">
<br class="">
1. settle down on GPLv2+ (or LGPL2.1+), which will likely
require<br class="">
whole relicensing process, i.e., collecting sign-offs on
this by all<br class="">
contributors in question<br class="">
<br class="">
2. clarify that indeed GPLv3+ was meant and adjust the
respective<br class="">
clauses in the source code<br class="">
<br class="">
3. keep the status quo, leave it in the shadow zone
allowing for<br class="">
ambiguous interpretations that may leave potential
contributors<br class="">
away from the project(s)<br class="">
<br class="">
Apparently, both affected packages, booth and sbd, can
choose its<br class="">
own direction independently of the other package.<br

IMO the GPLv2.1+ suggests that parts of the code could be e.g. GPLv3
depending on what the author of specific parts of the code decides,
so I think the question is should it be GPLv2 or LGPL2.1.<br>
