Hi Thomas, what do you want to do? If you upload a new patchset to a change (or a new change), Jenkins will automatically merge this change with the master branch and runs tests against the resulting artifact :) That's what I know. Kind regards Florian -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: wi

[Wikitech-l] GPL upgrading to version 3

Hi should we upgrade GPL to version 3 since version 3 is more modern then version 2. Should it be updated in extensions, skins and MediaWiki. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitec

Re: [Wikitech-l] GPL upgrading to version 3

I think the question is: What advantages and disadvantages has a the new license version? Extensions and skins can use the license they want, if it is compatible with GPLv2 or newer :) Best, Florian -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: wikitech-l-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:wikitech-

Re: [Wikitech-l] GPL upgrading to version 3

I am not a lawyer, but I am a little bit of a Free Software geek. Very briefly, GPL 3 adds restrictions on using software patents and DRM with the programs that use it. I'm not even entirely sure what these restrictions are. My very wild guess us that MediaWiki probably can go the GPL 3 way. Media

Re: [Wikitech-l] GPL upgrading to version 3

MediaWiki is already available under GPL 2 *or any later version*. Why would we want to disallow distribution under GPL 2? (Not that it's even possible. We could only state that new changes to MediaWiki code are only available on GPL 3+, we can't re-license existing code.) -- Bartosz Dzie

Re: [Wikitech-l] GPL upgrading to version 3

Assuming they are using unmodified MediaWiki, yes a link to mediawiki.org would probably suffice. I am going to look more into it, but what we have right now (link in the footer and extension information on Special:Version) should fulfill compliance automatically for third parties. -- Tyler Romeo

Re: [Wikitech-l] GPL upgrading to version 3

Cool :-) What about extensions? Would they count as derivatives of MediaWiki for license purposes? (I suspect they would, given Automattic regards WordPress themes and plugins as derivatives and requires them to be GPL.) This would mean that, if MediaWiki went AGPL, in-house extensions would need

Re: [Wikitech-l] GPL upgrading to version 3

One thing to point out is that: 1) Even right now, under the GPL, if extensions do qualify as “derivative works” or w/e, they do have to be GPL licensed. 2) Source code only has to be provided to users of the program. So presuming this is some private wiki with a secret extension, source code do

Re: [Wikitech-l] GPL upgrading to version 3

I like the GPLv3 and the aforementioned AGPL in general, but I doubt the code base would benefit from them at this point. Changing GPL-2.0+ to GPL-3.0+ is almost one-way, and I'm afraid some unhappy developers could even fork the project to keep it GPL-2.0+. Il 07/02/2015 20:57, Thomas Mulhall

[Wikitech-l] Extensions licensing

Hi! As some of you may have noticed, I am currently promoting the clarification of several extensions' licenses. Specifically, every MediaWiki extension should register itself with one of the SPDX-compliant license codes and include a valid FOSS license as a file who
