licensing (license versions) unclear.

reneengelhard commented 6 years ago

Hi,

currently packaging libnumbertext for Debian for LibreOffice 6.1.

README says:

License: LGPL/BSD dual-license, 2009-2018 (C) László Németh (nemeth at numbertext dot org)

Numbertext language data (Soros programs):

LGPL/BSD dual-license, 2009-2018 (C) László Németh et al. (see AUTHORS)

Serbian modules:

CC/LGPL/BSD tri-license, 2009 (C) Goran Rakić (grakic at devbase dot net)

CC is mentioned in data/sr.sor as Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution - Share Alike license. So far OK, but which versions of the LGPL? and which BSD one? (3-clause I assume?). Maybe you even mean the MIT/Expat one? Or is this LGPL-3+ as one can deduce from

and relicensed under GNU Lesser General Public License as published by

the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or

(at your option) any later version.

in above-mentioned data/sr.sor?

This should be clarified and license headers/COPYING file(s) added.

Regards,

Rene

I have pushed the following commit:

Disambiguate license: Modified BSD, LGPL-3+ dual-license

for code and language data

and CC-BY-SA/Modified BSD/LGPL-3+ tri-license for Serbian

COPYING: add most permissive modified BSD license

Thanks, László

thanks, that makes more sense. Did https://salsa.debian.org/libreoffice-team/libnumbertext/commit/238a6ae2c298b018d2766f9ac868836094d393a1 and https://salsa.debian.org/libreoffice-team/libnumbertext/commit/7c07a68d8e5b813b63d4f82474932f294d57da39
