Hi,
some of the JavaScript used by Framadate
(e.g. https://framadate.org/aqg259dth55iuhwm) appears to be
licensed
under the CeCILL-B version 1 license. This is a recognized free
license
(https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CeCILL-B), yet
not currently compatible with LibreJS.
I can provide a patch if given advice on how to obtain suitable
magnet
links.
Following the example on
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-librejs/2016-04/msg00008.html>,
I managed to generate a magnet link:
wget https://cecill.info/licences/Licence_CeCILL-B_V1-en.txt -O
cecillb.txt
transmission-create cecillb.txt -o cecillb.txt.torrent
transmission-show -m cecillb.txt.torrent
and I get
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:d3df60c220a1e764687d536e58d6b1bcb7fec8af&dn=cecillb.txt
I'm not familiar with bit torrent enough to know whether the bith
is reproducible on a different machine.
More broadly why are magnet links used? I can see it provides
both a hash and a way to get the license, but I also notice
reports in the mailing list about these links not having seeders.
So if it is just for hashing, maybe a hash of the license file is
sufficient.
Thanks,
jahoti
