I have packaged the 1.8 version of dkms-cq-usb-messenger, but can't find any usable license details - any help appreciated.
The mdv license was "GPL" which is not valid for Mageia.  
Once the correct license is found it will be ready to push to Cauldron.

Comment 5 Dave Hodgins 2011-11-08 03:41:27 CET

The upstream source in http://home.mag.cx/messenger/source/

The license in the source package is gpl v2
According to http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=licensing_policy and
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses
gpl v2 is acceptable for Core.

Comment 6 Benjamin Leduc 2011-11-08 10:02:30 CET

Thanks for being interesting in my problem

Comment 7 Dave Hodgins 2011-11-08 17:41:00 CET

For the dkms-syntek, the upstream source for the driver itself seems to be
http://sourceforge.net/projects/syntekdriver/
which states it's released under both the bsd and gpl licenses,
so it's ok for Core as well.

Should a separate bug report be opened for that package?

Yes - maybe best to leave this one as it is and open another package request for dkms-cq-usb-messenger, with a link to it here.

Created Bug 3312 for dkms-qc-usb-messenger

Note qc, not cq. :-)

Sorry, it is 4 months later now. What Barry meant were issues existing when the package was just pushed.

Can you please open a new bug report?

Product: Mageia
Component: rpm packages

Just file a bug for not working dkms-syntek and explain that dkms-syntek version 3.0.0 r107 fixes it
