翠星石 (suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com)'s status on Saturday, 11-Jan-2025 03:29:47 JST翠星石 @HopperMCS @Yoruka @rher @Zergling_man Jellyfin is NOT licensed under the GPLv2-only - there is only a copy of the GPLv2 dumped in the project root - there is no copyright headers or any comment noting which files such license applies to.
I did find license headers, but those are MIT expat ones;
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/refs/heads/master/src/Jellyfin.Networking/HappyEyeballs/HttpClientExtension.cs
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/refs/heads/master/src/Jellyfin.Extensions/SplitStringExtensions.cs
Grepping, all I can find for "GPL" is as below;
MediaBrowser.Model/MediaBrowser.Model.csproj: <PackageLicenseExpression>GPL-3.0-only</PackageLicenseExpression>
MediaBrowser.Common/MediaBrowser.Common.csproj: <PackageLicenseExpression>GPL-3.0-only</PackageLicenseExpression>
README.md:<img alt="GPL 2.0 License" src="https://img.shields.io/github/license/jellyfin/jellyfin.svg"/>
Emby.Naming/Emby.Naming.csproj: <PackageLicenseExpression>GPL-3.0-only</PackageLicenseExpression>
Jellyfin.Data/Jellyfin.Data.csproj: <PackageLicenseExpression>GPL-3.0-only</PackageLicenseExpression>
src/Jellyfin.Extensions/Jellyfin.Extensions.csproj: <PackageLicenseExpression>GPL-3.0-only</PackageLicenseExpression>
MediaBrowser.Controller/MediaBrowser.Controller.csproj: <PackageLicenseExpression>GPL-3.0-only</PackageLicenseExpression>
As GPLv2-only is not compatible with GPLv3-only, that doesn't seem correct.
As far as I can tell, Jellyfin has *no license* aside from a few files under MIT expat and the copy of the GPLv2 was only included to trick people into thinking it is free software.
