[Opensc-devel] License clarification

[Jakub J. <jj...@re...>]

Hello,
I was going through the files in the OpenSC repository and noticed 
several files with missing/unknown licenses.

These files miss any open source license headers (adding Olaf Kirch if 
the email is still valid who is author):

src/pkcs15init/pkcs15-init.h
src/pkcs15init/profile.h
src/libopensc/reader-openct.c
src/common/libpkcs11.c
src/pkcs11/mechanism.c
src/pkcs11/openssl.c


These files miss also header, but says about the source in pcsc-lite 
(adding Ludovic, who should be able to clarify the license):

src/libopensc/internal-winscard.h
src/common/compat_strlcpy.h


Several more files without contact information:

src/common/compat_report_rangecheckfailure.c
src/common/compat_getopt_main.c


And some more files from Juha Yrjölä (if the mail still works) without 
any open source license header:

src/tests/lottery.c
src/tests/p15dump.c
src/tests/pintest.c
src/tests/print.c
src/tests/prngtest.c

Can we get the clarification from the original authors, or is there 
somebody in the project who would be able to clarify the licenses and 
update the files to make sure the license is in align with the project?

Thanks,

Do whatever you want with it ;-)

The other files (for example src/pkcs15init/pkcs15-cardos.c) are LGPL 
2.1 or later if I read right (as the whole project).

Thank you for clarification. I will take care of the update in the 
upstrem repository with reference to this email.

[Andreas J. <an...@io...>]

Hi Jakub,

my assumption always was: one clear license statement for the whole
software is good enough - only divergent files got marked as such.
For the core files we might have the boilerplate in each file, but I felt
that was "nice to have", and not essential.

All files are good from my perspective, as they are opensc core files, only
these two could be checked in detail:

src/libopensc/internal-winscard.h

ah, seems this was added in 2008 as part of some build system change?
ludovic would know what license this would have, if it comes from pcsc.

https://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/api/winscard_8h_source.html

indicates BSD license, but it is better to clarify this with ludovic.

src/common/compat_strlcpy.h

either this file is too trivial to be protected by copyright, or it is
licensed under the same BSD clause as compat_strlcpy.c. Either way opensc
is fine.

Regards, Andreas

>From a file comment:
/* Mostly copied from pcsc-lite, this is the minimum required */

So the license should be the same as for pcsc-lite i.e. 3-clause BSD
license as in, the original,
https://github.com/LudovicRousseau/PCSC/blob/master/src/PCSC/winscard.h

I wrote this file because the corresponding strlcpy.c has no .h file.
I added a license in the strlcpycat.h file for pcsc-lite. See
https://github.com/LudovicRousseau/PCSC/blob/master/src/strlcpycat.h

Hello Andreas,
I am no expert on licenses, but there are automatic tools for checking 
the source files (for example in Fedora review tool) to make sure 
nothing "wrong" gets into releases and identify "the divergent files". 
Since I was in this process, I decided to clarify the missing bits so 
other people going through the similar processes will not have to 
struggle with similar problems.

The license are good and you are most probably right with your 
assumption. But having that written directly in the files makes it clean 
as it can be without any dispute.

Thank you for details. I have got already a message from Ludovic so I 
will put that together,

Thanks,

Maybe the tests/files that are quite arbitrary and not really used these
days, can be just removed as noise?

Yes, the tests popped on me and there was obvious author so I tried at 
least. The other looked more "suspicious" as they are compiled into the 
main binaries.

For cross-reference, I submitted PR with these changes:

https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/pull/988

Thanks for cooperation,
