[Openstack-devel] Fwd: python-django-bootstrap-form_3.0-1_amd64.changes REJECTED

[Thomas Goirand]

Hi there,

I'm a Debian Developer who takes care of OpenStack in Debian. Since
django-bootstrap-form is one of the (new) dependencies of OpenStack, I
tried to upload it to Debian Sid. Unfortunately, the package has been
rejected by the FTP masters on licensing issue. Below is a copy of the
reply from Paul Tagliamonte from the FTP master team. As you may know,
Debian takes licensing issues very seriously.

What I would need you to address the issue, so that I can make another
upload attempt, is to:

1/ Add a LICENSE file sitting on the top level of your source code,
telling under which license your python module is released.

2/ Add some licensing headers in your source files, if possible all of
them. This isn't mandatory, but this is very much appreciated by the FTP
masters.

Once this is done, please do a new release on PyPi. Additionally, it'd
be great if you could give me the URL of the git repository that matches
the latest release on PyPi, together with tags. It doesn't look like the
repository at https://github.com/tzangms/django-bootstrap-form has any
tags, which is annoying for me, as I prefer to use a git repository with
tags rather than the tarball from PyPi which includes egg-info (on the
packaging side of things, it's better that this is not present in
upstream source code as it is generated anyway).

Please let me know when this is done, so that I can try to upload again
(hopefully with success this time) in Debian.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)

Howdy maintainer,

Sorry, I've had to reject this package. The only license information is
in the setup.py, where it claims 'BSD'. There's no more information in the
docs site (or anywhere else I can see) as to what the actual terms are.

In addition, this is also a BSD license violation to not include the license
with the source :)

Cheers,
  Paul
