Bug ID: 491151
Summary: Discover thinks too many licenses are proprietary
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version: 6.1.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@kde.org
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Search for "akkhara" and you'll find an app with a license listed as
"Beerware", which apparently is known to SPDX:
https://spdx.org/licenses/Beerware.html#page
Discover labels it in orange and shows the proprietary warning button. However
the license's full text is as follows:
> "THE BEER-WARE LICENSE" (Revision 42):
>
> <p...@freebsd.org> wrote this file. As long as you retain this notice you can
> do whatever you
> want with this stuff. If we > meet some day, and you think this stuff is
> worth it, you can buy me
> a beer in return.
>
> Poul-Henning Kamp
This is not what I think any normal person would describe as "proprietary." It
may not meet GNU definition of free (as in copyleft) software, but it's
certainly not proprietary. Branding the app as having a proprietary license is
incorrect.
