We have had a talk about yEd on #gentoo-dev which is worth attaching
here:
<@ulm> aidecoe: I suspect that yEd is in violation of the GPL :/
<@ulm> their package zip file includes JavaHelp classes but no source code for them
<@ulm> and I also don't see it at their site
<@ulm> neither do they include the GPL license text
<@aidecoe> ulm: they provide links in their license
<@ulm> that's not enough
<@ulm> read the GPL ;)
<@aidecoe> yes, i have read
<@aidecoe> some time ago
<@ulm> what's probably worse, they pack that GPLed software into their jar
<@ulm> and in clause 1 of the yed license they forbid to unjar it
<@aidecoe> yes, that's not fair
<@ulm> and in clause 6 they forbid distribution
<@ulm> I'm pretty sure that this contradicts the GPL
<@ulm> aidecoe: that would be another reason for mirror restriction ;)
<@aidecoe> ulm: i'll mail them about it
I have just sent nice e-mail to yWorks about this.
