Hullo greensleeves,
Don't worry; the package is free.
Tissevert 写道:
From Ethan Schoonover's original repository[1] it seems to be
the MIT license but
- I can't find it in guix/license.scm, is that even an
admissible free license ?
Yes. It's available as ‘expat’. See the third paragraph of [0].
- The existing emacs-solarized-theme[2] package shipped with
guix is distributed
under a gpl3 license ?! (how is that possible ? can one
redistribute software
under a different license than its original one ?
Yes, you can combine (say) MIT/Expat-licenced software with (say)
GPL-3 software and redistribute the combination as (say) GPL-3.
You can also add your own or others' GPL-3 code to existing Expat
software. The modified result is GPL-3.
In both cases, the original Expat software doesn't go away, but at
least people can't use the GPL-3 portions to restrict others'
freedom.
Kind regards,
T G-R
