The .doc seems to not load in libreoffice; can anyone repost it as .txt?

Hi,
Attached you will find our fossology scan report. The report lists all licenses and the
files where the licenses were found.
Wow that's huge.
It looks like there's a bunch of false positives (e.g. we have a
'distribute' feature in the application, but this is detected as a
licensing keyword), slight variations in wording or formatting of the
same license over and over, copyrights claimed by various people, etc.
But, I'm given to understand the only actual tangible problem here is
with the Apache 2 code?
The file lists as covered by Apache 2, two extensions and the SIOX code.
For the extensions scour.py and yocto_css.py, you're right we should not
be distributing these with the codebase. In 4.8.4 you can simply prune
them; they're extensions and not required for compilation or use of the
code. Looking at our codebase, I see a third extension svg_transform,
with the same problem.
rm inkscape-0.48.4/share/extensions/scour.*
rm inkscape-0.48.4/share/extensions/yocto_css.*
rm inkscape-0.48.4/share/extensions/svg_transform.*
I'll take the action to raise this issue on the list to ensure it gets
resolved for 0.91 and 0.48.5.
For the SIOX files, siox.h and siox.cpp, both of those have already been
rewritten to be GPL friendly:

Fix Apache2 license conflict with GPL with re-license from SOIX
upstream
I don't know that this can be quite as easily ripped out as with the
extensions. Perhaps the fix can be cherrypicked into 0.48.5?
Josh, can you ask Martin if he'd be willing to apply this fix for the
0.48.5 branch?
In the meantime we checked the installer and found another issue.
There are a lot of dll’s and executables (see attached binary list) which cannot be
matched with the provided source code. E.g.: There is the file freetype6.dll. But we do
not get any search result for freetype in the sources.
freetype is a standard dependency for cairo and gtk (
www.freetype.org).
Skimming through the list I think the bulk of the other files are
similar gtk dependencies.
Where does these binaries come from?
Are these files taken from other OSS? If yes, can you provide the licenses and sources
for these OSS?
Josh and Ted, can you follow up on this?
I think as a general rule we should include a manifest file with the
windows and osx binary packages that lists the component, their license,
and source urls. Josh, that file you pointed to would be a good place
to include this info; a column for license and a column for source url.

Betreff: Re: license incompatibility in inkscape 0.48.4
More detailed info would definitely be helpful. I've also gone ahead and added the
board list via CC since this was intended to go to the board.
Just to throw out there, I am aware of a couple things. At least Jon Cruz (I believe also
Felipe Sanches) has committed multi-licensed code at some point. At least some of the MPL
was also licensed as GPL. Regarding the GPL2 vs 3 issue, we still haven't run across
anything that explicitly states GPL2 only and what is there says GPL2 or later... so
according to discussions with SFC, we are technically still a GPL2 project just with some
GPL3 code.
One example of a multi-licensed file can be viewed at
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/view/head:/src/e...
Cheers,
Josh

Hello Jan,
I personally am not aware of any licensing issues that we have in Inkscape, thanks for
bringing this to our attention! Do you have a report that has more detail of which
files/directories are which license so we can look into it with more detail?
Thanks,
Ted

Hello Inkscape board,
We are planning to use inkscape. Thus we scanned the source code of inkscape 0.48.4 for
OSS licenses. So we found out that inscape 0.48.4 includes the following licenses:
GPL 2.0
GPL 3.0
LGPL 2.1
MPL 1.1
Apache License 2.0
creativecommons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported
BSD-2-Clause
BSD-3-Clause
MIT
Zlib
W3C
Unfortunately there are license incompatibilities between some on the licenses. E.g.:
Apache 2.0 <-> GPL 2.0
GPL 2.0 <-> GPL 3.0
MPL 1.1 <-> GPL 2.0 + GPL 3.0 + LGPL 2.1 + Apache License 2.0
This leads to a serious problem: The creator of the code published under Apache License
2.0 can prohibit a publishing of his code under GPL 2.0. So we are not allowed to publish
it at all.
So here are my questions:
Is the community aware of this problem?
Is there a general statement regarding this topic available?
Are there any counter measures planned/implemented?
Kind Regards
Jan Kanefeyer
