            Bug ID: 351747
           Summary: Akonadi (server) is not LGPL
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: server
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: cgiboudeaux at gmx.com
            Blocks: 346175

The openSUSE legal team rejected the akonadi-server 15.08 submission due to a
licensing issue.

Copy/paste from the downstream bug report (not public atm) :
The spec file declares the license of this package to be LGPL-2.1+. Most of the
source files are compatible with this declaration. However, some GPL instances
were found:

src/server/commandcontext.*
src/server/storage/storagedebugger.*
autotests/server/fakeakonadiserver.* (tests, but should be called out in spec)

If those GPL files are compiled with the rest of the LGPL files, it may be
necessary to license the entire resulting work under GPL-2.0 (which would
probably be an unexpected result - particularly for any package which needs to
link with this one (if any)):

Thus, please confirm if the licensing of the above files is intended by
upstream.
