License review:

  • mapPreprocessor still contains a copy of the MIT license (before Gregor relicensed the source files under GPL); note: we don't distribute the compiled AIR app
  • mapRenderer's Bounds.as is missing a license statement
  • the open source Flex SDK is licensed under the MPL (not the "tri-license") and Adobe Flex SDK license (for proprietary bits); these are incompatible with the GPL when linked together (i.e., PiwikMap.swf); Gregor has given permission to relicense as LGPL to workaround this incompatibility:

    This is a free software license which is not a strong copyleft; unlike the X11 license, it has some complex restrictions that make it incompatible with the GNU GPL. That is, a module covered by the GPL and a module covered by the MPL cannot legally be linked together. We urge you not to use the MPL for this reason.

mapRenderer includes ByteTween (GPL) by Eduardo Dias da Costa. I'm waiting for a response.

Greg said by email that we can change license to LGPL. Is there more things involved in this ticket than setting the license.txt file to lgpl? thx

Yes, I have to replace (or remove the dependency on) ByteTween as I've had no response.
