I'm trying to package x2gokdrive for Fedora (review [1]), but running into some questions/issues with the licensing:
1 - There is no license file in the released tarball
2 - The debian/copyright file in the git repo [2] states that the license is GPL-2+ except for testscripts/* at GPL-2. However, licensecheck reports:
./x2gokdrive.c: Historical Permission Notice and Disclaimer - sell variant ./x2gokdrive.h: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later ./x2gokdrivecursor.c: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later ./x2gokdriveinit.c: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later ./x2gokdrivelog.h: Historical Permission Notice and Disclaimer - sell variant ./x2gokdriveremote.c: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later ./x2gokdriveremote.h: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later ./x2gokdriveselection.c: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later ./x2gokdriveselection.h: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later
3 - This code is combined with the Xorg server code which is under the MIT license.
This is quite a mess. I've asked upstream here [3] for some clarification, but I was hoping that the Fedora folks could speak to some of this, particularly item #3.
