Honestly, reading the #PyNose #license violation report (see floss.social/@hroncok/11273948) makes your hair stand.

For the record, it's about the person who took all of nose (LGPL-2.1) and republished it under their own name as MIT. Potentially also took a number of pull requests made to fix it but it's not immediately clear since the complete commit history.

> Lots of nose made its way into pytest (MIT License).

Right. If somebody else took some code and relicensed it (potentially violating the license), then it's fine for you to take the whole thing and relicense it (definitely violating the license).

> Another thing: GitHub never recognized the original nose license, as it doesn't appear in the original repo's information section.

Right. If GitHub didn't show the license, then it obviously was public domain!

> I'll wait for a member of github.com/nose-devs to request a license change here (if that's what they want).

Right, the "sue me" attitude.

FLOSS.socialMiro Hrončok :fedora: :python: (@hroncok@floss.social)@mgorny@treehouse.systems They apparently also decided to say the project is now MIT-licensed (nose was LGPL) and they fail to understand that's impossible. https://github.com/mdmintz/pynose/issues/16

Do any of you have suggestions for managing SBOM and license compliance with OSS solutions? I've looked into DejaCode and ScanCode[.]io. DejaCode makes a good first impression but has some serious limitations when it comes to SBOM processing (supported format versions, handling of hierarchies). I would like to use something that allows a review process and handling of more complex licensing (e.g. dual licensing, SPDX expressions) before generating the final SBOM. Basically what DejaCode does but with better SBOM handling. #sbom #cra #compliance #license #foss

"Then you need to write a piece of code which you can license under the GPLv3+, or find a suitable module already available that way, and add it to the program. Adding that code to the CeCILL-covered program provides grounds to relicense it to GPLv3+."
