[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1553628] Re: Non-free code in ErnieFilter (license only grants rights for use with HP products)
As Julien wrote in comment#2, there are more files and directories in hplip source tarball, whose are mentioned neither in COPYING file nor copyright file and they have different licenses then mentioned in COPYING and copyright files. Gaurav, is there any update on this matter? Would anyone in HP mind changing these licenses to e.g. GPL+? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553628 Title: Non-free code in ErnieFilter (license only grants rights for use with HP products) Status in HPLIP: New Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in hplip package in Debian: Fix Released Status in hplip package in Fedora: Fix Released Bug description: The headers of ErnieFilter.cpp and .h say: //This software is licensed solely for use with HP products.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1553628] Re: Non-free code in ErnieFilter (license only grants rights for use with HP products)
This bug was fixed in the package hplip - 3.16.5+repack1-1
---
hplip (3.16.5+repack1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Repack the 3.16.5 upstream release to remove
prnt/hpcups/ErnieFilter.{cpp,h} source files as they are non-free
(Closes: #816870) (LP: #1553628)
* Add patch to disable ErnieFilter usage everywhere, to cope with the repack

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1553628] Re: Non-free code in ErnieFilter (license only grants rights for use with HP products)
Further auditing found multiple directories mentioned neither in COPYING nor copyright (why two files?) which thus have no license attached to them. Examples: * ui4/ * common/ * fax/ (but that seems to have license headers) * apparmor/ * the root directory of the source code It would be great if that could be cleaned up as well. I can report that as a separate bug, if wanted. The easiest way is probably to add a catch all "Code is licensed under the GPL-2, unless mentioned otherwise." part. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553628 Title: Non-free code in ErnieFilter (license only grants rights for use with HP products) Status in HPLIP: New Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: New Status in hplip package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: The headers of ErnieFilter.cpp and .h say: //This software is licensed solely for use with HP products.

It later says: " This software contains technology licensed from third parties; use with non-HP products is at your own risk and may require a royalty." So I believe that this is a bit confused license wise, as I have only been given the permission for HP products anyway. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #816870 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=816870 ** Also affects: hplip (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=816870 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Also affects: hplip (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553628 Title: Non-free code in ErnieFilter (license only grants rights for use with HP products) Status in HPLIP: New Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: New Status in hplip package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: The headers of ErnieFilter.cpp and .h say: //This software is licensed solely for use with HP products.
