The switch to LGPL3 came with gmp-4.2.2, so gmp-4.2.1 would be needed for clamav compatibility. But prev is gmp-4.2.3-1, so we might need a new gmp-compat package based on gmp-4.2.1. Or clamav will decide to step up to GPL3 -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/ --------------030506040606070804020809 Content-Type: message/rfc822; name="Re: [Clamav-devel] [fabio.ped@libero.it: [Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#512776: Licenseincompatibility with libgmp (\"GPLv2 only\" linking to \"LGPLv3 or later\")].eml" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename*0="Re: [Clamav-devel] [fabio.ped@libero.it: [Pkg-clamav-devel] "; filename*1="Bug#512776: License incompatibility with libgmp (\"GPLv2 onl"; filename*2="y\" linking to \"LGPLv3 or later\")].eml" X-Account-Key: account1 X-Mozilla-Keys: Return-path: Envelope-to: ru@x-ray.at Delivery-date: Sat, 24 Jan 2009 23:41:46 +0100 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:53505 helo=smartmx-16.inode.at) by smartmx-16.inode.at with esmtp (Exim 4.50) id 1LQrCE-0007tN-5P for ru@x-ray.at; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 23:41:46 +0100 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:53492 helo=smartmx-16.inode.at) by smartmx-16.inode.at with esmtp (Exim 4.50) id 1LQrCB-0007sS-Qh for ru@x-ray.at; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 23:41:46 +0100 Received: from [194.109.142.194] (port=7018 helo=tad.clamav.net) by smartmx-16.inode.at with esmtp (Exim 4.50) id 1LQrCB-0007sJ-KE for rurban@x-ray.at; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 23:41:43 +0100 X-Virus-Scanned: Debian amavisd-new at tad.clamav.net Received: from tad.clamav.net ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (tad.clamav.net [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with ESMTP id GKfN5Qo1bf3A; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 23:41:40 +0100 (CET) Received: from tad.clamav.net (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by tad.clamav.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0EDF516C16F; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 23:41:37 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: clamav-devel@tad.clamav.net Delivered-To: clamav-devel@tad.clamav.net X-Virus-Scanned: Debian amavisd-new at tad.clamav.net Received: from tad.clamav.net ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (tad.clamav.net [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with ESMTP id cgrINh-+xxga for ; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 23:41:33 +0100 (CET) Received: from vancouver.yorkcabal.org.uk (vancouver.yorkcabal.org.uk [89.16.166.17]) (using TLSv1 with cipher AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (No client certificate requested) by tad.clamav.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9813716C0BD for ; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 23:41:33 +0100 (CET) Received: from lobefin.net ([91.103.132.25]:53124 helo=hadrian.lobefin.net ident=Debian-exim) by vancouver.yorkcabal.org.uk with esmtps (TLS-1.0:RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA1:32) (Exim 4.63) (envelope-from ) id 1LQrC0-0003zp-26 for clamav-devel@lists.clamav.net; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 22:41:32 +0000 Received: from steve by hadrian.lobefin.net with local (Exim 4.63) (envelope-from ) id 1LQrBz-0003OG-8P for clamav-devel@lists.clamav.net; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 22:41:31 +0000 Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2009 22:41:31 +0000 From: Stephen Gran To: clamav-devel@lists.clamav.net Message-ID: <20090124224131.GA7374@www.lobefin.net> Mail-Followup-To: clamav-devel@lists.clamav.net References: <20090124012134.GD15503@www.lobefin.net> <20090124111702.240374b4@Quad> MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <20090124111702.240374b4@Quad> X-Editor: VIM - Vi IMproved 7.0 X-OS: Linux hadrian 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686 i686 X-Uptime: 84 days X-Latin: Hodie nono Kalendas Februarias MMDCCLXII ab urbe condita est X-Date: Today is Prickle-Prickle, the 24th day of Chaos in the YOLD 3175 X-DDate: Only 2429756 Shopping Days Left Before X-Day.

So, I think that if the clamav team could make a public license excemption for this linking, the problems for distributors goes away. It would be great if it was in the licensing statement in the release, but failing that, a mail to the mailing list would probably be enough for me to convince our archive administrators that it's ok. This of course assumes that the clamav team holds all the copyright for the code that links GMP, which, given that the #include gmp.h is in the library, might be slightly difficult. If you guys don't have the copyright, or can't grant the excemption for other reasons, distributors like myself will most likely have to build without gmp going forward, which seem unfortunate.
