Bug ID: 1974186 Summary: nkf's license is not any type of BSD license, unlike the spec description. Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Status: NEW Component: nkf Assignee: tagoh@redhat.com Reporter: firmbl@gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, tagoh@redhat.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora
Description of problem: nkf's license is not any type of BSD license, unlike the spec description.
How reproducible: Check difference of src.fedoraproject.org 's spec and source code. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nkf/blob/rawhide/f/nkf.spec#_5
Spec file says it's BSD License.
On the other hands, copyright notice of nkf.c in the upstream tarball is not any type of BSD license.

I think this license is not listed in fedora's Software License List. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#SoftwareLicenses
Maybe difficult to describe in spec.
Additional info: nkf is also packaging in other distribution. For example, package is available for debian.
https://packages.debian.org/ja/sid/nkf
Copyright metadata says it's "Custom" license.
