I'm interested in packaging ksquirrel. COPYING says:
* KSuirrel is under GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (see LICENSE) * KSquirrel statically links against fmt_filters. See fmt_filters_README for more. * some functions in SQ_GLWidget (see source code for more) are based on original code by (C) Guillaume Chazarain guichaz@yahoo.fr in his great GLiv project (under GPL). * "broken" pixmap was taken from the "Nuvola" icon theme for KDE. * SQ_CategoryMenuBrowser is based on PanelBrowserMenu by (C) Matthias Elter from kde-3.2.3. See ksquirrel/sidebar/sq_categorybrowsermenu.h for more. * documenation for KSquirrel is under GFDL, see LICENSE.GFDL * some files in admin/ are under LGPL, see LICENSE.LGPL * SQ_GLU namespace is under LGPL, see LICENSE.LGPL
Acceptable?

are these KDE binding for the Squirrel language (http://squirrel-lang.org/default.aspx)? I have prepared a package for the plain Squirrel libs and shell at http://fedora.danny.cz

The first 3 paragraphs match the "Modern Style with sublicense" variant of: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/MIT (except that the warranty disclaimer only has "AUTHOR" instead of "AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS"). The 4th (last) paragraph matches the last paragraph of the "Modern Style without sublicense (Unicode)" variant. Therefore, I believe this is OK and GPL-compatible.

This matches: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/BSD#2ClauseBSD (except that "FREEBSD PROJECT" has been replaced by "AUTHOR" in the warranty disclaimer, "OR CONTRIBUTORS" is not mentioned in the warranty disclaimer and the last paragraph about "views and conclusions" in the FreeBSD license is not present here). This is OK and GPL-compatible.
- some functions in SQ_GLWidget (see source code for more) are based on original code by (C) Guillaume Chazarain <guichaz <at> yahoo.fr> in his great GLiv project (under GPL).
This is OK.
- "broken" pixmap was taken from the "Nuvola" icon theme for KDE.
Nuvola is LGPL according to: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Nuvola?content=5358 That's OK and GPL-compatible.
- SQ_CategoryMenuBrowser is based on PanelBrowserMenu by (C) Matthias Elter from kde-3.2.3. See ksquirrel/sidebar/sq_categorybrowsermenu.h for more.

This is OK and GPL-compatible.
- documenation for KSquirrel is under GFDL, see LICENSE.GFDL
This is OK (not GPL-compatible, but that's OK for documentation).

Acceptable?
Looks like it. The License tag will be a mess (it'll have something like "GPLv2 and LGPLv2 and MIT and BSD and GFDL", I'll let you figure out what's GPLv2/LGPLv2 and what's GPLv2+/LGPLv2+), but that's pretty common unfortunately.

ksquirrel needs ksquirrel-libs, which says:
* ksquirrel-libs is under GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (see LICENSE), except the following parts:
* JBIG library statically links against jbig-kit (which is under GPL, see LICENSE.GPL) by (C) Markus Kuhn * MNG dynamically links against libmng, see LICENSE.MNG for more * LJPEG library statically uses ljpg, see LICENSE.LJPEG for more * DDS plugin is taken from KImageIO plugin from kdelibs 3.4.0 (which is under GPL) * EPS plugin is taken from KImageIO plugin from kdelibs 3.4.0 (which is under LGPL) * PSP plugin is taken from DevIL (which is under LGPL) * TTF library dynamically links against libfreetype, and statically uses ftview from ftdemos-2.1.10, there are no LICENSE issues in ftdemos package, but it is still copyrighted Copyright 1996-2000, 2003, 2004, 2005 by (C) D. Turner, R.Wilhelm, and W. Lemberg
NOTE: No license but copyright? OK?
* XCF library statically uses xcf2pnm (which is under GPL) * PNG library uses its own version of libpng to support APNG images, see LICENSE.PNG
other issues: * DJVU library uses "ddjvu" executable (via fork) from http://djvu.sf.net * DXF library uses "vec2web" executable (via fork) from http://ribbonsoft.org * TIFF library dynamically links against libtiff * GIF library dynamically links against libungif * JPEG library dynamically links against libjpeg * PNG library dynamically links against libpng * WMF library dynamically links against libwmf * OPENEXR library dynamically links against OpenEXR libraries * JPEG2000 library dynamically links against jasper, most code in this library was taken from jasper.c from jasper distribution, which is under JASPER LICENSE, see LICENSE.JASPER for more * SVG library uses "rsvg-convert" executable (via fork) * CAMERA library installs its own dcraw version 8.79. dcraw is by (C) Dave Coffin, which is free redistributable if no source code modification were applied:
/* dcraw.c -- Dave Coffin's raw photo decoder Copyright 1997-2007 by Dave Coffin, dcoffin a cybercom o net
This is a command-line ANSI C program to convert raw photos from any digital camera on any computer running any operating system.
No license is required to download and use dcraw.c. However, to lawfully redistribute dcraw, you must either (a) offer, at no extra charge, full source code* for all executable files containing RESTRICTED functions, (b) distribute this code under the GPL Version 2 or later, (c) remove all RESTRICTED functions, re-implement them, or copy them from an earlier, unrestricted Revision of dcraw.c, or (d) purchase a license from the author.
The functions that process Foveon images have been RESTRICTED since Revision 1.237. All other code remains free for all uses.
*If you have not modified dcraw.c in any way, a link to my homepage qualifies as "full source code".

NOTE: wow - I wonder if it's worth the effort!
