Issue ID: 10093 Summary: Unclear licenses in certain places Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.6.6 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: documentation Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: thegeorg@yandex-team.com Target Milestone: ---
We use scancode-toolkit in order to perform automatic license analysis.
At the time, this toolkit reports certain places with unclear license status.
In particular, libraries/libldap/modrdn.c (lines 19 to 24) bear the following notice:
``` /* Copyright 1999, Juan C. Gomez, All rights reserved. * This software is not subject to any license of Silicon Graphics * Inc. or Purdue University. * * Redistribution and use in source and binary forms are permitted * without restriction or fee of any kind as long as this notice * is preserved. */ ```
While copyright notice is completely fine, the second part can not be recognised as any SPDX acknowledged license.
Is it possible to unify the text across other parts of OpenLDAP?
