wordpress plugins -- licensing
by Ian Weller 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/ states that all the plugins hosted on WordPress's website (the SVN repo is svn.wp-plugins.org, and wp-plugins.org redirects to the website listed first here) are licensed under the GPL unless otherwise noted in the source. Is it OK to assume GPL then for all non-specific plugins, and if so, which version? -- Ian Weller <ianweller(a)gmail.com> GnuPG fingerprint: E51E 0517 7A92 70A2 4226 B050 87ED 7C97 EFA8 4A36

Potential problem with Bitttorrent DHT
by David Nielsen 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

As is pointed out by upstream for Monsoon, Novell have disallowed DHT implementation from the openSUSE repos based on a legal risk as assessed by openSUSE Legal. The precise nature of the problem is unclear from the initial mail but Alan McGovern says he will provide information to interested parties, as such I would like some input from Fedora Legal if the problem applies to Fedora as well. Relevant information https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492297 http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-gnome/2009-03/msg00048.html Regards, David Nielsen (I am not on the list so please CC me)
