Comment:
KDE software follows the KDE licensing policy that can be found:
https://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy
Some files might refer to license names that are explained it these the
mentioned policy.
.
Unless otherwise noted the default license used in this application is
LGPL-2.1+ for the source code and GFDL-NIV-1.2+ for the documentation.
Some of the optional plugins used at runtime are under a version of
the GPL license.
.
In particular, this licensing allows this project to link against libgit2
(which may, in turn, link against the openssl, which has incompatibilities
with the GPL), as the code that links against this is the kateprojectplugin,
that is under a version of the LGPL, so the incompatibilities don't apply.
.
On the other hand, in order to link against the ktexteditor framework
(which may, in turn, link against libgit2), either the libgit2 needs to be
linked against gnutls or ktexteditor needs to not be linked against libgit2.

DFSG Assistant LLM REVIEW
This is an LLM based review using a Debian Inference based workflow. It was not written by a member of the DFSG team and has not been checked by one. It is not a decision on the package: it may be wrong, and it may have missed things.

DFSG NEW review for kate version 4:26.08.2+dfsg-2
Summary
- Licensing is DFSG-compliant and
debian/copyrightis accurate: No - Packaging is of good quality: Yes
- Issues: 0 blocker, 1 important, 2 minor; 1 more from the model's own knowledge, under Not confirmed
- debian/watch: version 5
- debian/copyright: machine-readable
- Scan before the review: nothing found
Licensing
Everything in the source is free and the tree is DFSG-clean: upstream is REUSE/SPDX-tagged, and every licence found (LGPL-2.0-only, LGPL-2.0-or-later, GPL-2.0-or-later, GPL-2.1+3+KDEeV, GPL-3+, MIT/Expat, BSD-3-clause, CC0-1.0, CC-BY-SA-3.0, GFDL-NIV-1.2+, public domain) is DFSG-compatible. The repack is consistent: 3rdparty/SingleApplication is gone from the tree exactly as Files-Excluded says, replaced by libsingleapplication-dev. debian/copyright is DEP-5 and its stanzas track the SPDX headers nearly file for file. It is not fully accurate on two points: addons/katesql/katesqlview.h is declared GPL-2 although its own notice grants the GNU Library GPL v2, and the LICENSES/ texts and the two REUSE .license sidecars are left to fall under Files: * (LGPL-2+).
Packaging
Modern, competent KDE packaging: debhelper compat 14 with dh-sequence-kf6/dh-sequence-qmldeps, hardening=+all, correct kate/kate-data/kate-addons/kate-libs/kwrite split with matching Breaks/Replaces, Architecture: all/Multi-Arch: foreign for the data package, Standards-Version: 4.7.4 against Policy 4.7.4.1, one DEP-3 patch, sane dependency fields, and a clean changelog. Only small things: the leading - in debian/rules disables the test step's exit status on every architecture (which makes the arch list beside it dead), and the in-tree rapidjson copy duplicates a library Debian ships.
Issues
1. [important] [licensing] addons/katesql/katesqlview.h is declared GPL-2 but its header grants the GNU Library GPL v2 (LGPL-2)
- Files:
debian/copyright,addons/katesql/katesqlview.h:4-13 - Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
- Evidence: File:
modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License version 2 as published by the Free Software Foundation.andYou should have received a copy of the GNU Library General Public License along with this library; debian/copyright hasFiles: addons/katesql/katesqlview.h/Copyright: 2010, Marco Mentasti <marcomentasti@gmail.com>/License: GPL-2, while the siblingaddons/katesql/katesqlview.cppand the rest of the plugin are in theLicense: LGPL-2stanza. - Problem: The file is licensed under the GNU Library GPL v2 (LGPL-2.0-only, like every other katesql file), not the GNU GPL v2. The
License: GPL-2stanza states a licence the holder did not grant and is stricter than the grant; it also wrongly makes this header out to be GPL-2-only code linked into a plugin that is otherwise LGPL-2. - Fix: Drop the one-file stanza and let the file fall under the existing
License: LGPL-2stanza with the rest ofaddons/katesql/(or give the stanzaLicense: LGPL-2).
2. [minor] [licensing] LICENSES/*.txt and the two REUSE .license sidecars are covered by Files: * (LGPL-2+) instead of their own licence
- Files:
LICENSES/CC0-1.0.txt,LICENSES/GPL-2.0-or-later.txt,LICENSES/LGPL-2.0-only.txt,LICENSES/LGPL-2.0-or-later.txt,LICENSES/MIT.txt,.flatpak-manifest.json.license:1-2,apps/kwrite/.flatpak-manifest.json.license:1-2 - Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
- Evidence:
.flatpak-manifest.json.licensereads# SPDX-FileCopyrightText: Noneand# SPDX-License-Identifier: CC0-1.0; noFiles:stanza matchesLICENSES/or*.license, so the catch-allFiles: *License: LGPL-2+applies to them. - Problem: The licence texts themselves and the two sidecars that declare CC0-1.0 are described as LGPL-2+ code, so
debian/copyrightis inaccurate for seven shipped files. - Fix: Add a short stanza, e.g.
Files: LICENSES/*withLicense: CC0-1.0/MIT/GPL-2+as appropriate (or a single comment that they are licence texts) andFiles: *.licensewithLicense: CC0-1.0.
3. [minor] [packaging] 3rdparty/rapidjson is an embedded copy of rapidjson, which Debian ships as rapidjson-dev
- Files:
3rdparty/rapidjson/,apps/lib/CMakeLists.txt:32,addons/lspclient/lspclientserver.cpp:27-29,addons/gdbplugin/launch_json_reader.cpp:11-15 - Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
- Evidence:
apps/lib/CMakeLists.txtputs${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/3rdpartyon the include path andlspclientserver.cpp/launch_json_reader.cppinclude<rapidjson/document.h>;apt-cache show rapidjson-devgives 1.1.0+dfsg2-7.6. - Problem: A second copy of a library Debian already packages (Policy 4.13): bugs and CVE fixes must be tracked in two places, and the copy ships no LICENSE file of its own (its text is only in
debian/copyright). The in-tree copy carries post-1.1.0 code (RAPIDJSON_USE_MEMBERSMAP), so replacing it withrapidjson-devmay need work, but the duplication should at least be recorded. - Fix: Build against
rapidjson-devif the code compiles with 1.1.0, or add adebian/README.sourceparagraph saying why the vendored copy is kept.

3rdparty/rbql/rbql.js(readable source, MIT, withrbql-LICENSEby Dmitry Ignatovich andREADME-katerecording the local change) and oneaddons/symbolviewer/samples/testfile.js. - Packaging checks:
Standards-Version: 4.7.4against Policy 4.7.4.1; compat 14, sodh_gencontroladdsshlibs:Dependsitself and kwrite's lack of an explicitkate-libsdependency is correct; compat 13+ skips theoverride_dh_auto_testtarget undernocheck, soxauth/xvfb<!nocheck>are right;sonnet6-plugins,konsole-kpart,libkf6texteditor-katepartandplasma-desktopthemeall exist; the file split at 4:26.08.2-2 matchesBreaks/Replaces: kate (<< 4:26.08.2-2)in kate-addons/kate-libs; kate-data isArchitecture: all/Multi-Arch: foreign; the package has no autopkgtests and none are expected for this split. - Translation domains are complete:
usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/*kate*.mo(kate.mo carries kwrite's strings too, per apps/Messages.sh) plus the plugins' own domains listed in debian/kate-data.install. - uscan found the packaged version as the newest upstream release (upstream
26.08.2, packaged26.08.2+dfsg). - Every pointer of
debian/copyrightto /usr/share/common-licenses names a file that is there (CC-BY-SA-3.0,CC0-1.0,GFDL-1.2,GPL-2,GPL-3,LGPL-2,LGPL-2.1,LGPL-3).
Not confirmed
- PNG contents were not opened, so the CC-BY-SA-3.0 attribution for po/ca/docs/kate/gdb-io.png and gdb-output.png is taken from debian/copyright; nothing in the tree names that holder.
- The removed
3rdparty/SingleApplicationsource is already gone from the repacked tarball, so its non-freeness (the reason for the repack) could not be re-checked; the tree is consistent withFiles-Excluded. - pkg-kde-tools is not installed here, so the
kf6buildsystem thatdh_auto_test --buildsystem=kf6names could not be read;apt-cache show pkg-kde-toolsshows it providesdh-sequence-kf6and a KDE debhelper buildsystem, so the name is presumably valid. - Whether this is a fault: debian/rules prefixes the test command with
-, so test failures are ignored on every architecture and testsuite_failing_archs does nothing. The model reported it as a minor packaging issue from its own knowledge of something outside the package, which it did not check with a tool, so it is not counted among the issues. Files:debian/rules:6-12.
Evidence:testsuite_failing_archs := armel armhf hurd-amd64 hurd-i386 i386…fail_param := || true… recipe line-xvfb-run -a dh_auto_test --buildsystem=kf6 $(fail_param)
Problem: A leading-on a make recipe line makes make ignore that line's exit status, sodh_auto_testcan never fail the build, on any architecture. The per-archfail_param := || trueis therefore dead code, and the changelog's intention ("Allow tests to fail" only on 32-bit/hurd, 4:24.08.2-4/-5) is not what the file does.
Fix: Remove the leading-, leavingxvfb-run -a dh_auto_test --buildsystem=kf6 $(fail_param), so failures are tolerated only where$(fail_param)is set.
Proposed changes
None.
