- Subject: kdelibs-bin: meinproc is relicensing my code
- From: Ben Burton <bab@debian.org>

Package: kdelibs-bin
Version: 4:3.5.1-2
Severity: serious
Hi,
I have a KDE application whose documentation is licensed under the GPL.
In particular, its index.docbook contains the line:
<legalnotice>&underGPL;</legalnotice>
When I build the application and meinproc is run over the docbook files,
it generates an HTML index that looks like:
Title (large bold heading)
Author
Revision number
Copyright notice
Legal Notice
Abstract ...
In past versions of KDE, the legal notice was actually a short blurb
stating which license was used. Now it is simply a hyperlink with the
two words "Legal Notice".
So: To find out the license, you must click on the "Legal Notice"
hyperlink, and --- it sends you to help:/common/fdl-notice.html, which
states that the documentation is licensed under the GFDL version 1.1 or
later.
For the obvious reasons, I most certainly do _not_ want my documentation
licensed under the GFDL. It is GPLed, as stated in index.docbook, and
the documentation that appears in the help centre should not be telling
users something different.
I am marking this bug as serious, since meinproc is used to generate all
of the KDE help centre documentation, and so users are being presented
with license information that is incorrect.
As for the cause: I'm not too familiar with meinproc internals, but I
suspect the culprit is /usr/share/apps/ksgmltools2/customization/kde-chunk.xsl.
Around lines 90--100 it does look rather like the fdl-notice is being
dropped into the documentation regardless of what actually appears inside
the <legalnotice> tag.
Ben.
