From 27f869a2fe100b10bee417503fa18bb7659c45d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Waldmann Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2011 22:02:29 +0100 Subject: licensing issues: we need a clean restart here - remove everything Problem: argparse has been licensed under Apache License v2.0 While this license is a FOSS license, it has known compatibility issues with the GNU GPL v2 - projects under GPL v2 can't use code under apache license v2.0. Projects which use "GPL v2 (or, at user's choice, any later version)" only have one means using code under apache license v2.0: to choose the "or any later" part and go GPL v3. Of course, this would cause issues with other license.... As argparse was contributed to the Python v2.7 code base, it is available under the Python License, which has no such compatibility issue. Thus, a clean solution for the argparse package (for users who need argparse for projects which have to support python older than 2.7) is to remove all old apache licensed files and start from scratch using the python-licensed code from the standard library. --- MANIFEST.in | 9 --------- 1 file changed, 9 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 MANIFEST.in (limited to 'MANIFEST.in') diff --git a/MANIFEST.in b/MANIFEST.in deleted file mode 100644 index 9341002..0000000 --- a/MANIFEST.in +++ /dev/null @@ -1,9 +0,0 @@ -include README.txt -include NEWS.txt -include doc/*.html -include doc/*.js -include doc/_static/*.css -include doc/_static/*.js -include doc/_static/*.png -include doc/source/*.rst -include doc/source/conf.py -- cgit v1.2.1
