License conflict in inkscape (apache 2.0 vs GPLv2)

[Vincent Untz]

The siox code is under the Apache 2.0 license according to the headers. However, this license is incompatible with GPLv2, see http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/#apache2

Note that the GIMP code for siox is GPL. I guess asking the siox people to relicense would be the right thing to do.

Ping? Has someone asked the siox people?

I haven't sorry. I asked the folks in Inkscape that added the code, but
they never responded and I didn't follow up.

Gerald Friedland, Kristian Jantz and Lars Knipping and Bob Jamison have all been contacted with a link to this bug and asked to re-license their work as GPL for Inkscape.

All fixed, see message from Gerald Friedland on Inkscape-devel "Re: Regarding Bug 357043" at 2013-06-11 23:39:15 -0400
