0045014: License conflict on Localization
License conflict on Localization
a.) jOpenDocument (including dependencies) - GPL-V3
"Declared Conflict (Broad)"

Module from indian localization (Promantia) using GPL-v3 license
https://centralrepository.openbravo.com/openbravo/org.openbravo.forge.ui/ForgeModuleDetail/India-VAT--Calculation-And-Reporting [^]

This module uses a library to create OpenOffice/Libreoffice file format.
That Library is under GPL-v3 so not usable by us.
Note: Project of that library clear says: If you don't like it pay us for another license

Recommendation: Report to Promantia to fix (remove that usage by deleting feature or finding a different implementation).
No tags attached.

Hi Vinay/all,

Sorry for missing this topic referred to the issue 45014 - License conflict on Localization.

Let me back to it so we can close it.

What you have done (see your email below), looks ok but we see 2 sub-topics here:

a.) as it seems you have not fixed that module itself so that vat module is still (probably) not okay and published and still available to download
b.) as what you have done is remove it from being mandatory for the Indian localization pack

Are those two above assumptions correct?

Assuming we understand that correctly b.) help i.e. for Dalmia project not to not have the legal problem.
So it already reduces the impact a lot which is nice.

But still, please fix the vat module itself or (if it is not needed anymore by anyone) cancel the existing uploaded module versions (we will also need to remove/hide the old versions)
Reminder: Cancelling module version makes them no longer available for download

Can you please review this topic so we can close it?

Best regards,
Patricia.

This module "India VAT - Calculation and Reporting" will be set as "Retired" in the forge, so those are not longer visible.
