Main program:
- file sabnzbd/utils/json.py is released under the LGPL, but no copy of the license is include in the sabnzbd+ 0.3.0 release, although doing so is a requirement of this license.
- various python files are licensed under (modified) BSD licenses, but contain only a link to a website with the text of their licenses. Please consider adding a copy of the full license text found on those websites (BSD is pretty short) as a comment in these files. Not doing so might result in a situation where the license of these files can no longer be properly determined when websites change or go offline.
Most of the template files for Plush and smpl are licensed under the CC-3.0 license, but not all of them are. Those parts under another licenses should be clearly identified as such, and have adequate licensing information, so that whoever downloads these releases knows their rights and obligations, and all the requirements of the various licenses are fulfilled. Note that many licenses require authors and (re)distributors to include a full copy of the license with the file(s) released under the terms of those licenses.
smpl interface templates:
- in the README.txt file, the author is listed only by his/her nick name, without any contact information, and without a basic copyright statement.
- interfaces/smpl/templates/static/MochiKit/Sortable.js refers to 'scriptaculous.js' for full license; however, no such file is present in the sabnzbd+ release. Some digging shows that file is apparently available from http://script.aculo.us under the MIT License. Please include the license in/with the file.
- various files under interfaces/smpl/templates/static/PlotKit/ are licensed under 'the BSD license' with a link to http://www.liquidx.net/plotkit. Consider including a copy of said license with the template (for reasons previously given in the "Main program" section).
- interfaces/smpl/templates/static/PlotKit/excanvas.js and interfaces/smpl/templates/static/excanvas.js are licensed under the Apache license, version 2.0; however, no copy of the license is provided, although that is specifically required by the license.
- many files in interfaces/smpl/templates/static/MochiKit/ are dual-licensed under the MIT and AFL v2.1 licenses.
- interfaces/smpl/templates/static/MochiKit/Style.js is (partly) copyright by yahoo and released under a BSD style license, for which only an url is given. Please include the license statement in or with the file instead.
- in the README.txt file, the authors are listed only by their nick names, without any contact information, and without a basic copyright statement.
- various files under interfaces/Plush/templates/static/images/ appear to be taken from the Nuvola Icon theme, which is copyright 2003-2004 by David Vignoni and licensed under the LGPL, v2.1 or later. This is not clear, no licensing information is included, and there's also no way to distinguish between files that come from Nuvola and those that are your original work. Please fix and document as necessary.
- various files under interfaces/Plush/templates/static/javascripts/ are dual-licensed under GPL and MIT license; however, no copy of the latter is provided in the release.
- interfaces/Plush/templates/static/javascripts/plush.js is partly under LGPL, see above.
While I realize this list might look rather depressing, fixing these issues would benefit the sabznbd+ project by steering clear of possible legal problems, and also be helpful (and probably required) for getting this great program included in the repositories of various popular Linux distributions.
