We have had a talk about yEd on #gentoo-dev which is worth attaching |

here: |

4 |
<@ulm> aidecoe: I suspect that yEd is in violation of the GPL :/ |
5 |
<@ulm> their package zip file includes JavaHelp classes but no source code for them |
6 |
<@ulm> and I also don't see it at their site |
7 |
<@ulm> neither do they include the GPL license text |
8 |
<@aidecoe> ulm: they provide links in their license |
9 |
<@ulm> that's not enough |
10 |
<@ulm> read the GPL ;) |
11 |
<@aidecoe> yes, i have read |
12 |
<@aidecoe> some time ago |
13 |
<@ulm> what's probably worse, they pack that GPLed software into their jar |
14 |
<@ulm> and in clause 1 of the yed license they forbid to unjar it |
15 |
<@aidecoe> yes, that's not fair |
16 |
<@ulm> and in clause 6 they forbid distribution |
17 |
<@ulm> I'm pretty sure that this contradicts the GPL |
18 |
<@ulm> aidecoe: that would be another reason for mirror restriction ;) |
19 |
<@aidecoe> ulm: i'll mail them about it |

I have just sent nice e-mail to yWorks about this. |
