Hi,
i asked bug-libreadline for advise how to detect GPLv3 versions.
The answer is: readline.h macro RL_VERSION_MAJOR = 6 means GPLv3+.
There is no API call provided to detect the version at run time.
So Debian should please do its best to prevent libisoburn compiled
with libreadline-5 from
Hi,
the libisoburn tarball which contains xorriso is indeed GPLv2+.
(The GNU xorriso package gets derived a GPLv3+ from this.)
Nevertheless it is not intentional that the binary from libisoburn
becomes GPLv3 by linking an optional library. Especially it then
still states at run time:
$ xorriso
Package: xorriso
Version: 1.3.2-1
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: adequate incompatible-licenses
The xorriso's copyright file says:
Files: *
License: GPL-2
But /usr/bin/xorriso is linked to libreadline6, which is GPLv3+. These
two licenses are not compatible.
But perhaps there's
3 matches
