Follow-up Comment #1:

Hello,

Thank you for submitting a new project to host on GNU Savannah, and for
organizing the licensing information so clearly.

There are few issues with the current package:
1. Please add a copyright and license to the user guide file
'doc/flexisip_guide.tex'.
A list of recommended licenses for documentation is here:
    http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#DocumentationLicenses
There are other possible licenses, but please ensure they are free-licenses
(for example, CC BY-SA-NC is not a free license).


2. You've mentioned the library 'ortp', but the link you've listed is for a
library called 'odb' - which is also used.
Could you specify the location and license of 'ortp' ?


3. The project uses libraries 'media streamer' and 'odb'
(http://www.codesynthesis.com/products/odb/) which are GPLv2 only (mentioned
here: http://www.codesynthesis.com/products/odb/license.xhtml ).
These libraries are not  "GPLv2 or later".
As such, they are incompatible with the license of the project (which is
AGPLv3 or later).
See here for details:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#v2v3Compatibility
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility

This puts the project in a conflicted situation which violates GPLv2.




There are few other minor issues, which are recommended to be fixed (but not
required):

4. Please consider adding copyright statement and license notice to the
following auxiliary files:
  Makefile.am
  configure.ac
  doc/Makefile.am
  scripts/Makefile.am
  scripts/flexisip.bash-completion
  src/Makefile.am
  debian/Makefile.am
  doc/latex_include_generator.sh
  scripts/debian/Makefile.am
  scripts/debian/update_debian_changelog.sh
  scripts/gitversion.sh
  scripts/redhat/Makefile.am
  src/presence/Makefile.am
  src/recordserializer-protobuf.proto
  src/xml/Makefile.am

If you prefer not to license these under AGPLv3-or-later, consider using the
GNU all permissive license:
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices-for-Other-Files.html


5. There are two SVG files in the 'doc' directory, please consider adding a
copyright and license to them as well,
or specify a copyright & license for them in the 'doc/README' file.


6. The 'tclap' used by the code is licensed as 'MIT', not LGPLv2 (just a
nit).

7. Please consider mentioning 'AGPLv3 or later' in the README file.

8. The README file mentions at least one more library (XSD) - please list all
libraries with their license.


When these issues are amended, please upload an updated tar ball and process
evaluation can continue.

Regards,
 - assaf
