Subject: [ruby-core:117326] [Ruby master Bug#20395] Invalid license note in vsnprintf.c
Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2024 11:19:39 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <redmine.issue-20395.20240326111939.703@ruby-lang.org> (raw)

Issue #20395 has been reported by vo.x (Vit Ondruch).

----------------------------------------
Bug #20395: Invalid license note in vsnprintf.c
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20395

* Author: vo.x (Vit Ondruch)
* Status: Open
* ruby -v: ruby 3.3.0 (2023-12-25 revision 5124f9ac75) [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
I am looking into Ruby licenses and I stumble upon vsnprintf.c, namely about these lines:

~~~
/*
 * IMPORTANT NOTE:
 * --------------
 * From ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change
 * paragraph 3 above is now null and void.
 */
~~~

I doubt the note is valid since commit:git|626f1ee196fe06514d66771ff0e3f82d7686af25, which actually removes the 3rd clause, while the (broken) URL refers to "4bsd". Can somebody please review? The note from the URL can be likely viewed e.g. [here](https://www.freebsd.org/copyright/license/)
