Bug Description

Kradview is a GPLed viewer of images obtained for some different sources: X-ray, NMR and DICOM-compatible imaging devices that runs on free operating systems. Its aim is a easy to use DICOM viewer with instant rendering of images, no matter the size and the zoom of the DICOM image. It covers the "let's see the the X-ray image" need of the medical professional.

Upstream needs to fix a few things first. It would be nice if he could create a proper tar.gz file, but is not all that necessary. A big thing that needs to be fixed is his licensing. His copy file expresses GPL v3 or newer, which luckily we can work with now since his package links to KDE libs. However, his Copyright headers all have issues. Here is just a quick print out of the issues I found running 'licensecheck' on the source:

My name is David Santo Orcero. I am kradview sole developer and maintainer.

 All the files developed by me on this application are GPLv3. All files that, once compiled, are linked to build the application are GPLv3.

 Files on admin directory are automatically created by kdevelop when the project is created. Those files
are GPLv2 or later, but there is not a licence problem, because files on admin directory are used to
build the application, but they are not compiled against the application.

 Those files automatically created are created with QT preprocessors or by automake. The source file is GPLv3, and QT moc preprocessor is GPLv3. The moc preprocessor creates textual files, but they are as generated as object files. And the source is GPLv3. If this is an issue, all KDE and QT applications under GPLv3, and all GPLv3 applications that uses automake should be put out Ubuntu due to the same legal issues.

 Finally, copyright date should not be an issue. The application was created in 2005 using GPLv2 or later,
and it was relicenced under GPLv3 when GPLv3 was created.

Yours:

 David

Marking as invalid as issues appear to have been sufficiently addressed by David and 3 months is enough time to allow for responses. To reopen the report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!
