Does this software have a license? #26

Closed dalb8 closed 11 years ago

dalb8 commented 11 years ago

I would like to submit this to the f-droid.org repository, but the code would need to have a free software license, such as the Vim license.

Sorry I didn't look at the GNU software. I guess it's GPLv3 then since it has libixonv

momodalo commented 11 years ago

Hi, It's Apache License and I will upload a license file later.

I don't. think it can be Apache with libiconv in there, even if it's not in the repo itself

momodalo commented 11 years ago

Hi, The vimtouch itself didn't invoke any iconv functions, but vim did. The vim is only GPL-compatible. I don't mind to claim the vimtouch to GPL but just want to clarify if iconv will cause the GPL infection.

I'm fairly sure that means it's GPL but would be a good idea to ask somebody more knowledgeable.

alterechtschreibung commented 11 years ago

If you link your code against GPL code or derive your code from GPL code, it must be GPL. Still, you can multi-license (e.g. for a broader license compatibility) the parts you created by you own (which are not derived from GPL stuff).

Would be great if you could upload a License.txt or Coping.txt.

momodalo commented 11 years ago

Hi, I am on a trip and will start to reply on Monday.

I'm sorry libiconv is LGPL , the only GNU project that is, I think, so there is no difficulty. The issue has already been closed though, yet I dont see a decision.

Hi, I will push a GPL license to the source tree and declare the whole vim touch as GPL later.
