LGPLv3 license violation #1

Open joachimmetz opened 6 months ago

joachimmetz commented 6 months ago

ewftools-x64.zip is distributing libewf LGPL licensed code without adhering to LGPLv3, it is possibly also violating the zlib and bzip2 licenses

Good morning joachimmetz sorry for the delay in responding :(.

Sorry for my ignorance in LGPL and GPL licenses, I usually simplify them by making open all software that was originally open without modifying authors. In this case it is simply an unmodified and compiled version of ewf-tools that solves the need to have some site from where to download these tools for windows systems, in internet you only find for linux :( and in some cases the windows version come very well.

Let me take a look at the licensing issue in detail and try to solve it and if I can't, I will remove this repo.

Best regards.

I think that's it, I have added both licenses and the link to the source code.

Best regards.

did you add them to the zip as well? that is where they need to be included (that is your distribution)

joachimmetz commented 4 months ago

would also recommend adding the zlib and/or bzip2 licenses for completeness

kero99 commented 4 months ago

Added bzip and other licenses to zip file.

Trank you soo much!
