G1G1 activities/content must have Good Licenses

[cscott]

I've documented a 'license' field in activity.info closely matching Fedora's "License:" field in RPMs: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activity_bundles#.info_File_Format

As part of #4265 (OLPC should comply with GPL), we need to audit all our shipped activities and ensure that they have a valid license field in their activity.info. I will file bugs blocking this one for each "G1G1" activity which does not (all of them, right now).

[cscott]

Content must have Good Licenses, too. (license field added to http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sample_library.info_file as well).

[cscott]

(In #4265) I've added #8411 (all G1G1 activities must have Good Licenses) as a blocker. There's also #8413, which will ensure that we stay in compliance, and #8414, which should make it easier for content authors to assign an appropriate license.

[cscott]

(In #6340) The author has recently added MIT license blocks to each file in turtle art.

I will add the appropriate 'license=' tag to the activity.info.

[morgs]

I've added the license field to Chat, Read and Oficina (Paint). I'll do the releases soon.

[cscott]

morgs: Thanks!

[cscott]

(In #8419) Not in the G1G1 activity set, so doesn't really block #8411.

[morgs]

Chat-47, Paint-23, Read-52 released.

[morgs]

I've pinged the maintainers of Browse, Measure, TurtleArtWithSensors, Distance, Etoys, Record, Speak, Calculate, Write and TamTam. Will continue to ping other activities on the G1G1 and Peru lists.

[uwog]

Write done, released Write-58

[leejc]

Implode-5 released.

[erikos]

Done Browse and Log.

[bert]

Etoys-93 has the license field.

[olipet]

TamTam is done. Edit = 50 Jam = 51 Mini = 49 Synthlab = 51

[garycmartin]

Moon-5 has the license field

From the current set of G1G1 activities and content:

Scratch-10.xo: Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu/pages/source) (activity license)
No license information found for Analyze-5.xo
No license information found for Calculate-24.xo
No license information found for Dictionary-m1-4.xol

No license information found for Worldfactbook-maps-3.xol
No license information found for Wp-world-images-2.xol
No license information found for Biology-5.xol

That's a lot of licenses still left to fix.

[cscott]

Whoops, Quran.xol shouldn't be in the list of G1G1 content. Neither should Wikipedia-10.xo. (Both should get appropriate license information added, though.)

[cscott]

FWIW, Journal-86.xo shouldn't be in the list, either. That still leaves 20 bundles left for us to fix.

[pierre]

Clock v3 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Clock_activity includes the license field.

[morgs]

Oops, Read-52's been out for a while with the license field, but I had forgotten to update the wiki.

[morgs]

I've mailed the author of Ruler, Mitchell N. Charity, regarding the license field, with no reply so far. The problem is there is no license specified in the source code so I'm hesitant to add one and do a release without hearing from the original author.

[morgs]

Ruler author responded, http://dev.laptop.org/~morgan/bundles/other/Ruler-3.xo has license field.

[cscott]

Updated License for Analyze (Analyze-7) based on license information in the source files.

[cscott]

Calculate has a good license field, the author just spelling it licen*c*e. I've emailed Reinier to try to get that fixed.

[cscott]

Current problem list:

Activities:

No license information found for Measure-19.xo

No license information found for WikipediaEN-2.xo

No license information found for Biology-5.xol

cjb is working on WikipediaEN, and sj is working on the .xols.

[mstone]

While I hope to see all the activities listed above updated by the end of this week; I am no longer able to justify holding the 8.2.0 release for further improvements in this area.

[cscott]

I've updated Record (v58).

[cscott]

Latest:

ICDL-6.xol: C (content license)
No license information found for Biology-7.xol
No license information found for Measure-19.xo
Scratch-11.xo: Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu/pages/source) (activity license)

We've come pretty far! Sj: what's the "C" license? (I assume a typo?) and Biology-7 is still missing license information. arjs is going to give me a properly licensed Measure-19 tomorrow. Can someone contact spot@… about the Scratch license and get a go/no go?

[gnu]

SimCity-5 and Micropolis-8 both have license = GPLv3+ now.

[jminor]

Speak, Maze and Frotz now have licence = GPLv3+

[arjs]

Measure release v20 with the license information included. I will be having access to internet again in about the next 8 hours so please let me know if there are any problems or any further things are needed. many thanks.

Scratch and ICDL are the only questionable ones left. Scratch is probably okay, it just needs checking by legal. ICDL is a collection of different books; the license information is on each book's title page. That probably needs a bit of review as well.

[mstone-xmlrpc]

Pushing out to 9.1.0, per edmcnierney's request.
