The URL is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/raw/master/Copyright?ref_type=heads&inline=false Thank you. That's the Expat license. > Wikipedia says that it is a form of the MIT license: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libxml2 Wikipedia isn't sufficiently reliable source for our purpose, neither for naming licenses, nor for referring to licensing terms of software. > Can I make the changes in a local git repository, and then you (or some other Savannah admin) imports the git repository with the original history plus with my additional commits? Yes; you'll be able to push it yourself.	Ineiev <ineiev>

All Rights Reserved. Oh, indeed. This affects at least one file. I'll get in touch with Dodji Seketeli, to get his permission to change this. > Such things need fixing before the package is hosted on Savannah. Can I make the changes in a local git repository, and then you (or some other Savannah admin) imports the git repository with the original history plus with my additional commits?

Sure: I looked it up in the Copyright file of the top-level directory of libxml2.

Mon 19 Feb 2024 04:33:29 PM UTC, comment #1: > MIT license MIT has used many licenses. Can you specify the license, preferably with a link to the place where the package declares it? Then, the COPYRIGHTS file says, Except where otherwise noted in the source code all the files are: Copyright (C) 2003-2004 Dodji Seketeli. All Rights Reserved. This means proprietary software. Such things need fixing before the package is hosted on Savannah.	Ineiev <ineiev>
Mon 19 Feb 2024 03:55:53 PM UTC, original submission: A new group has been registered at Savannah. This group will remain inactive until a site admin approves or discards the registration. Registration Administration Approving or discarding the registration must be done using the specific Group administration page, accessible only to site administrators logged in as superusers. Registration Details Name: libcroco System Name: libcroco Type: non-GNU software and documentation License: GNU Lesser General Public License Description: Libcroco is a standalone CSS2 parsing and manipulation library. Its main features are a CSS parser with a CSS object model like API, and a CSS2 selection engine. Other Software Required: glib LGPLv2+ https://docs.gtk.org/glib/ libxml2 MIT license https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2 (but I wish to make it optional later) Other Comments: The package was hosted on gnome.org, until the GNOME people decided that they don't need it any more (because they moved their CSS handling from C to JavaScript) and thus archived their repository: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/libcroco. However, GNU gettext continues to need it as an upstream and to apply fixes occasionally. Please don't install the .tar.gz as is. It does not include the project's history. I want to install the archived project's git repository in savannah, preserving history, and continue development from there. Tarball URL: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/libcroco/-/archive/master/libcroco-master.tar.gz	Bruno Haible <haible>
