Description Katrin Fischer 2013-02-12 13:58:06 UTC
About page needs to be updated to reflect license update (see also bug 9440). 

Currently it states:

Koha

Koha is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

The link in the patch points to http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html, but I imagine a future in which the "default" license at that URL becomes GPL 4. I think it would be safer to link to a 3.0-specific page:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html

Hi Kristina!

The link for "BSD license" is broken when I click on it from the About Koha page.  

Other than that, I tested the patch by verifying that the new text appears under About Koha, and all of the other links work fine.

Thanks,

Melia

Hi Melia,

I didn't change any other license on the page because the bug was for the GPL license. ;-)

The YUI license is fixed now as well.

Cheers
Kristina

Comment 8 Melia Meggs 2013-03-26 19:03:50 UTC
Oh, heh.  I thought I was supposed to test all of those links on that page. :)  Thanks for fixing it as well!  I am signing off.

Melia
Comment 9 Kristina Hoeppner 2013-03-26 19:05:11 UTC
:-) It's better that the link is fixed as well.
