Subject: [ruby-core:117348] [Ruby master Bug#20395] Invalid license note in vsnprintf.c
Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2024 18:25:15 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <redmine.journal-107507.20240327182514.703@ruby-lang.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: redmine.issue-20395.20240326111939.703@ruby-lang.org
Issue #20395 has been updated by vo.x (Vit Ondruch).
Actually, there is one more occurrence of this situation:
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/51e6becd391eac03fd3842e1db9b6907999d64ba/LEGAL?plain=1#L1090-L1093
and there is some history:
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/cb47ae58d339b7e7adbcd11c2d896a3bb61b8e7c
At this stage, it seems that the note was already obsolete, because the 3rd paragraph was already dropped on some places such as:
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/10d3f6a039fb05c309243f8937c36bd3b5a6f724
At different places, the note appeared out of blue it seems:
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/3ad44e0aa18ff335cf110d8da11d92af82e2ad51
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/b9f3cd5a0c53304cf2611864a5ef750bdb7694d6
----------------------------------------
Bug #20395: Invalid license note in vsnprintf.c
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20395#change-107507
* 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/)
