Hi Pierre,

I'm working at the libmseed3 Debian package. One thing I noticed is that
IRIS relicensed libmseed from LGPL-3.0+ to Apache-2.0, plus there are a
couple of files in the repo that are MIT/Expat licensed.

ok

I have a couple of questions for you:

1. Are you fine with relicensing debian/* as Apache-2.0 for licensing
uniformity?

no problem

2. d/copyright lists you as the copyright owner of mseed.pc.in, licensed
LGPL-3.0+. Apparently they didn't really take this into account when
doing the relicensing. Are you fine with relicensing this as Apache-2.0?
(Given the nature of the file I'd probably drop the copyright claim and
just consider it as part of upstream, but this is up to you.)

Yes I don't claim anything, we can consider it part of upstream.

I completely left the seismology domain, thank you so much for your care.

(sorry, packaging mseed was my very modest attempt to contribute debian,
I'm still a beginner on the subject)


You will do an NMU? How will you proceed? I'm not sure to have
permission to push something on salsa...


Cheers,


Pierre
