Is the translation authorized? Is it in compliance with the FSF's published meta-license of the GPL? While, as my personal position, I have been on record for many years saying that I believe license texts themselves should be licensed as CC-0, the FSF doesn't agree. FSF's license texts are themselves governed by copyright and under a no-modifications-allowed license, which means translations are only permitted with permission from the FSF. I don't think SPDX license list should include any licenses that are themselves known to be infringing copyright, so it's best to check with the FSF and verify they authorized the translation if you do indeed believe that this is (in whole or in part) a translation of the GPL. [ BTW, sorry for joining this thread late; I usually lurk and don't actively follow this list but occasionally check in with it. I see that it looks like this issue was discussed at the the Legal Team meeting in http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Legal_Team/Minutes/2016-12-22 , but that references a spreadsheet that requires proprietary software to view... perhaps this issue is discussed in that spreadsheet already and someone willing to install the relevant proprietary software can quote here from it? ] -- -- bkuhn ======================================================================== Become a Conservancy Supporter today: https://sfconservancy.org/supporter _______________________________________________ Spdx-legal mailing list Spdx-legal@lists.spdx.org https://lists.spdx.org/mailman/listinfo/spdx-legal
