Hi, bootstrap-form was rejected by the Debian FTP masters, and I have no reply from upstream to fix the licensing. I'm not sure what to do next. Any advice? Could we just stop using bootstrap-form?
Thomas Goirand (zigo) P.S: Below is the reject message from the FTP masters, and my follow-up with upstream authors, left unreplied for now 12 days. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Fwd: python-django-bootstrap-form_3.0-1_amd64.changes REJECTED Date: Sun, 15 Dec 2013 11:30:23 +0800 From: Thomas Goirand <[email protected]> Organization: Debian To: tzangms <[email protected]>, Matt Austin <[email protected]>, Roberto Rosario <[email protected]>, PKG OpenStack <[email protected]> Hi there, I'm a Debian Developer who takes care of OpenStack in Debian. Since django-bootstrap-form is one of the (new) dependencies of OpenStack, I tried to upload it to Debian Sid. Unfortunately, the package has been rejected by the FTP masters on licensing issue. Below is a copy of the reply from Paul Tagliamonte from the FTP master team. As you may know, Debian takes licensing issues very seriously. What I would need you to address the issue, so that I can make another upload attempt, is to: 1/ Add a LICENSE file sitting on the top level of your source code, telling under which license your python module is released. 2/ Add some licensing headers in your source files, if possible all of them. This isn't mandatory, but this is very much appreciated by the FTP masters. Once this is done, please do a new release on PyPi. Additionally, it'd be great if you could give me the URL of the git repository that matches the latest release on PyPi, together with tags. It doesn't look like the repository at https://github.com/tzangms/django-bootstrap-form has any tags, which is annoying for me, as I prefer to use a git repository with tags rather than the tarball from PyPi which includes egg-info (on the packaging side of things, it's better that this is not present in upstream source code as it is generated anyway). Please let me know when this is done, so that I can try to upload again (hopefully with success this time) in Debian.

The only license information is in the setup.py, where it claims 'BSD'. There's no more information in the docs site (or anywhere else I can see) as to what the actual terms are. In addition, this is also a BSD license violation to not include the license with the source :) Cheers, Paul === Please feel free to respond to this email if you don't understand why your files were rejected, or if you upload new files which address our concerns. _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
