Bug#946959: RFS: coreboot/4.10-1 [ITP] -- Coreboot firmware utilities
14:40 < tarzeau> coreboot sources are partly GPL-2-only (aka GPL-2) some
are GPL-2-or-later (aka GPL-2+), is it possible to clean that up?
14:40 < tarzeau> relicense to one?
14:40 < maxii> but cb_parse_framebuffer() doesn't seem to get called
14:40 < tarzeau> debian/ubuntu packaging effort details:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=946959
14:41 < maxii> nico_h: I think I am seeing the problem, not the
solution. But at least a possible reason/the origin of the problem
14:41 < nico_h> tarzeau: you can just ship it as GPL-2-only, if that
makes it easier
14:42 < tarzeau> well not really an option, i'm not the authority of the
source files, so only authority of them can do so (if i did, it'd be a
fork)
14:43 < tarzeau> (and even if i did and wanted, i can't just relicense
stuff that's already published by another license)
14:44 -!- r1mikey [~r1mikey@2620:10d:c092:200::1:2fbd] has joined
#coreboot
14:44 < nico_h> tarzeau: there's the point, you can relicense it in this
case. and if you ship binaries that are build from both GPL-2-only and
GPL-2-or-later you implicitly relicense parts of it
anyway
