Hi all
I am creating the content of a training dedicated to legal security in software developments, and decided to use mediawiki source code as a support on how to audit from a legal standpoint source code.
The JSMin.php component which is a core class from mediawiki is licensed under a MIT/X license which has been modified by including the following mention.
"The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil."
This restricts the use of the software in certain case, renders in turn the software non-free, therefore non compatible with the GNU GPL v2 used for mediawiki.
A colleague of mine has contacted the authors of the latter class, by uploading the issue on their gitHub
site (see https://github.com/rgrove/jsmin-php/issues#issue/4 ).
Although this might seem like a minor issue, it nonetheless impacts the legal situation of your excellent wiki platform.
I hope you will be able to solve this,
Best regards,
Matthieu
