I dont understand why this is relevant to aprove my submit.

I try stuff and do changes in my computer, you can not see the last changed file date in my computer. You see only the uploaded tar.

Understanding that there is a problem in a package after someone said you so doesn't necessarily mean understanding how that package is licensed.

You also didn't addressed my other concern satisfactorily,

Yes.  We expect that the maintainers of new packages understand licensing of their dependencies; without that, we may end up with proprietary software distributed on Savannah, and worse.

Now, I can see that src/util/sha256.c is covered by the OpenSSL license, and it's GPL-incompatible.  How can you explain that?

No I can not explain stuff about Minetest Game engine.

Any problem now to aprobe my submit?

Thank you!

I'd like to clarify a few things before I approve this group.

  • Minetest Game Engine, according to its website, is permissively licensed, not GPLv2+.  This isn't a problem by itself, but you should pay more attention to such things.


  • The note on cash.ogg says that the author is unknown, if I'm not mistaken; but how can you tell whether it's public domain, then?  When I visited the website the file in question was downloaded from, I found a lot of similarly named files, so I think it would be too hard for a user to track the origin of that file.


  • As far as I can see, you only changed files in locale/ after 2021-03-04, so I'm curious how this combines with your comment #4.

Basically, when something doesn't work, maintainer's responsibility is to make it work, isn't it?

The point was lacking. I'm sorry I wasn't clear.
