#37321: new port: dfu-util -------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: benoit.triquet@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: submission | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: dfu-util | -------------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by benoit.triquet@…): Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]: Thanks for the rapid inclusion, tips and fixes (I should learn more about libtool and pkgconfig).
The headers in the source files say: {{{ * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or * (at your option) any later version. }}} So the license should be "GPL-2+" not "GPL-2".
Good catch, I hadn't even looked. I based my portfile on the explicit statement "GPL v2" on the webpage. I will side with you, I assume this is just a mistake from upstream and not a willful decision to make the entire package GPL v2 except some files GPL v2+. There are 4 header files that do not have their own license but they are headers of source files that are indeed GPL v2+ so this cannot be meaningful. I am asking upstream for clarification, will keep you posted. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37321#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
