Well... you know what I mean. Let me put it another way: the issue was corrected and current distributions and licenses are all correct. Or: I cannot see any evidence of mpir distributed tarballs licensed as lgplv2+ containing lgplv3+ code. Antony On 05/04/2010 08:22 PM, Bill Hart wrote: > "No

"Now rectified"? The tarballs have not changed since Oct/Nov last year! But yeah, otherwise it is a fair assessment. On 4 May 2010 20:12, Antony Vennard wrote: > Ok thanks, sorry, I wasn't certain the issues were tarball-only so I > looked in svn. > > I have looked at the tarballs also and can c

Ok thanks, sorry, I wasn't certain the issues were tarball-only so I looked in svn. I have looked at the tarballs also and can confirm the same findings as Bill. Certainly, it seems the code being distributed is being done so in the correct manner. This would seem to show that the issue is now re

Thanks. The issues you raise: 1) The mpir-parallel svn branch contains LGPL v3+ code. However, this was branched from MPIR 2.0.0, which is already LGPL v3+, so this is absolutely fine. 2) Brian Gladman's version of mpf/set_str.c contains some code the same as the version in GMP 5. This is because

Let's just clarify this bit shall we, just in case: The below should read "mpir-trunk" uses a small number of lgplv3+ patches and is distributed as lgplv3+. By same license, I meant the same license as the relevant patches. Just so we are clear. I do not wish to be mis-quoted. > mpir 1.3 and ear

Dear All, you may be aware of statements on the GMP website regarding MPIR. We have been passed email correspondence in which Torbjorn Granlund again alleges that we are distributing a: "renamed GMP package with license downgraded from LGPL 3 to LPGL 2.1" But we have no idea what he means. If an

Dear All, The mpn_zero issue has now been fixed in Windows. This was the last known problem with mpir-2.0.0-rc. I've uploaded mpir-2.0.0-rc6.tar.gz to the MPIR website. I believe this will be the last RC. If no problems are reported with it, I will make it final tomorrow some time! Yay! Bill. -
