We have had a talk about yEd on #gentoo-dev which is worth attaching here: <@ulm> aidecoe: I suspect that yEd is in violation of the GPL :/ <@ulm> their package zip file includes JavaHelp classes but no source code for them <@ulm> and I also don't see it at their site <@ulm> neither do they include the GPL license text <@aidecoe> ulm: they provide links in their license <@ulm> that's not enough <@ulm> read the GPL ;) <@aidecoe> yes, i have read <@aidecoe> some time ago <@ulm> what's probably worse, they pack that GPLed software into their jar <@ulm> and in clause 1 of the yed license they forbid to unjar it <@aidecoe> yes, that's not fair <@ulm> and in clause 6 they forbid distribution <@ulm> I'm pretty sure that this contradicts the GPL <@ulm> aidecoe: that would be another reason for mirror restriction ;) <@aidecoe> ulm: i'll mail them about it
I have just sent nice e-mail to yWorks about this. -- Amadeusz Żołnowski
