License Problem

[dalb8]

There is a problem with the license because it cannot be released under the Apache 2 license and still contain GPL code.

Ah, yes, you are right. So, I'll say it is released under GPL, until I find a replacement for the GPL code

That's good. I will wait until you do that before submitting the app to f-droid foss repo, but please fix the gpl source headers too .

I have put it in the repo under the GPLv3 license. If you want to switch to Apache within the next while, that's no problem.

com.adam.aslfms.receiver.AbstractPlayStatusReceiver still contains APL header

Is there anyway to put SLS under an Apache License?
For now I am changing the About information to GNU General Public License v3.0

Is it as easy as changing all the source headers to Apache?
If so, I can do this, I can message contributors about their contribution files being changed to Apache License, I am sure it won't be a problem.

So, the only code requiring GPL v3 is https://github.com/tgwizard/sls/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/adam/aslfms/util/MD5.java. If we can rewrite the code to not use that MD5 copy-pasted lib, and remove that file, then we can go to the Apache License.

@HumbleBeeBumbleBee do you or someone else want to look into that?
