De Marchi I'm only going to throw in a few quick comments, i'm sure a regular can provide better feedback later. First off, the debian wiki [1] is a good place to look for DFSG compatibility, and the fedora wiki [2] for GPL compatibility. [1] http://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing * Java Secure Channel appears to be 3 clause bsd http://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses#The_3-clause_BSD_License * Netbeans CVS Client Library is cddl. This is *NOT* GPL compatible. If the library is used by BlueJ you might have a problem. Debian wiki licensing page doesn't seem to have anything on cddl. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#Good_Licenses * ANTLR 3 License i don't know, not seen it before (a no clause bsd!?) * Junit has Common Public License, which is DFSG free, but *not* GPL compatible. This could be a problem like CDDL http://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses#Common_Public_License_.28CPL.29.2C_Version_1.0 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#Good_Licenses * SVNKit has the TMate Open Source License, again it seems free but *not* GPL compatible. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#Good_Licenses I've not `wdiff`ed any of thse to be sure, so you should double check, and I'm judging by the Fedora wiki to see if its GPL compat or not. thanks, kk -- Karl Goetz, (Kamping_Kaiser / VK5FOSS) Debian contributor / gNewSense Maintainer http://www.kgoetz.id.au No, I won't join your social networking group
