Asked in #libreoffice-dev (upstream using breakpad, too, disabled in Debian
builds):
21:14 < _rene_> moggi: do you have good contact with the breakpad guys?
21:15 <@moggi> _rene_: I have talked to the mozilla breakpad guy a few times,
why?
21:15 -!- ohallot [~thunde...@mvx-189-45-131-207.mundivox.com] has joined
#libreoffice-dev
21:16 < _rene_> moggi: see http://bugs.debian.org/864729. totally unrelated
package, just saw it
21:16 < _rene_> BUT
21:16 < _rene_> mozilla includes that too via breakpad
21:17 < _rene_> and they did relicense to something BSDish
21:18 <@moggi> _rene_: I know the reviewer of the license change
21:19 < _rene_> so I wonder what went up there and whether Unicode relicensed it
21:19 < _rene_> and for everything or for Google only (where the latter would
also violate the DFSG)
21:19 < loircbot> LibreOffice (core) tamas.zolnai *
svx/source/table/tablecontroller.cxx: tdf#109050: Moving
table object with ALT+Arrow keys does not work properly
21:21 <@moggi> _rene_:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/google-breakpad/issues/detail?id=270
21:22 < _rene_> ah, thanks

Gervase Markham told me that Mark Davis (original author of the code) told him
via private email that the license on this code is now the standard Unicode
license, which is an acceptable open source license. I would love to get that
in a public venue, but I think we can safely replace the license on these files
with the Unicode license.
