https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2357266 --- Comment #13 from Bryn M. Reeves <bmr@xxxxxxxxxx> --- I've given this a lot of thought over the weekend, both around how these projects fit into the overall Python ecosystem, as well as reading resources from both Apache and the FSF on the topic of license compatibility. These projects (snapm and boom-boot) were historically licensed under the GPL because despite being original code bases they originated in GPL-licensed projects (a subpackage of lvm2 in the case of boom, and then smapm followed that pattern). On reflection, I no longer think that being licensed under the GPL is adding any value to these projects, and actually makes it harder to consume and re-use these components. A small part of snapm (the plugin loader) was originally derived from the sos project: https://github.com/sosreport/sos/ I filed a PR yesterday to rewrite this part of snapm: https://github.com/snapshotmanager/snapm/pull/195 - this deletes the last remnant of 3rd party code in the tree. I'm proposing to re-license both projects (boom-boot and snapm) under the Apache-2.0 license. Further explanation and discussion of the change can be found in the upstream issues: https://github.com/snapshotmanager/snapm/issues/205 https://github.com/snapshotmanager/boom-boot/issues/120 I think this is a positive change that simplifies life for users, developers, and maintainers - we will issue new releases soon with the re-licensing change included assuming that no objections are raised. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are always notified about changes to this product and component You are on the CC list for the bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2357266 Report this comment as SPAM: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Bugzilla&format=report-spam&short_desc=Report%20of%20Bug%202357266%23c13 -- _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list -- package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to package-review-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
