Title:
[6.1] Incompatible MPL license in wiki module
Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
Fix Released
Status in “openerp” package in Fedora:
New
Bug description:
In the wiki module, the files web/controllers/wiki.py and
web/widgets/wiki.py are distributed under MPL (Mozilla Public License)
conditions. Other files in the same module are distributed under GPLv3
+ and BSD.
Legally, this doesnt work IMHO - MPL is not compatible with GPL, so
the only way to distribute the module would be to split it into two
independent parts, one with the MPL files and one with the others. To
me, this doesn't make sense.
OTOH, both of the MPL files seems to be copyrighted by openerp (i. e.,
Tiny ERP) so if we just got a message here saying that openerp intends
to relicense these files under the same GPLv3+ conditions as other
parts of the product, there is no problem.
So: Does openerp intend to relicense web/controllers/wiki.py and
web/widgets/wiki.py under GPLv3+?
