--- Comment #7 from Thomas Fischer ---
I have removed the file 'ISI_export_format.html' using 'git rm' from all recent
version branches ('kbibtex/0.5' to 'kbibtex/0.7') as well as 'master'.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358446 --- Comment #6 from Thomas Fischer --- > can you please provide openly confirmable links to the original source of > this file? Unfortunately, no. I found this page some time in 2011 and added it to the repository as it is a description of the ISI file format. A recently search was not able to locate the page (wiki?) again. > CC-BY-NC doesn't comply with our licensing policy, and can't be "linked" with > eg. GPL code. > However, it *is* redistributable Non of the files in the 'testset' directory will be installed using 'make install' or alike (the directory does not get touched by the build system) and as such will not end up in packages shipped by distribution. Furthermore, the directory only contains plain text files, neither binaries of any kind nor source code. So, to sum up the current discussion: As the file was never installed or linked to GPL'ed code, it was not illegal to have the file in the Git repository. Though, to prevent accidental future license violations, the file may be removed though a simple 'git rm'. Unless there are good counter arguments, I'll implement this strategy in a few days. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

GPL code. However, it *is* redistributable. It's not like someone committed EULA-protected software like Adobe Flash into the repository (where Linux distros have to workaround the fact that it's non-redistributable). We're in no legal trouble by simply having this file in our server. I see no need to remove it from the repository history. Just rm it from the latest version. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Is there any particular reason why the file needs to be expunged from the history of the repository completely? Further, can you please provide openly confirmable links to the original source of this file? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
