reopen 424164 thanks Hi,
> + [RA] Don't warn about LICENSE files in Zope products, since they may > be used for runtime display. (Closes: #424164) I'm wondering about the background of this change. I've read the original request, which was that some applications like to display the licence in their program. phpMyAdmin does the same and I've solved this by simply symlinking /usr/share/doc/phpmyadmin/copyright. This file is then displayed just as expected in the application when someone clicks on "License". You might argue that there's a case to be made to display the licence only in its original form, as distributed by upstream. While I don't subscribe to that view, if you do it's not something specific to Zope. The way I see it there's two possible solutions: 1) Zope just symlinks the /usr/share/doc/zope/copyright file. That seems like the best option to me. Or is that not possible? 2) It's considered a feature that software displays the original licence as distributed by upstream. In that case, I don't think it's needed to make special exceptions for Zope; if it is desirable for Zope it may be desirable for other applications just as well. In both cases I don't think the current change is appropriate, so I've taken the liberty to reopen the bug for now.
