Hello Sergio,

since this package passes QA, I had a quick look.

Concerning the license, the https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-shell
repository links to the GPL version 3, not expat. Normally this means
"or later"; unfortunately the source code does not seem to have an
explicit license notice specifying gpl3 or gpl3+.

So should this package be called stremio or stremio-shell?
The binary is called stremio, so I think it makes sense to keep this
also as the project name.

I also did not find a license for the "embedded"
stremio-server-4.20.8.js file; the file itself says
   /*! For license information please see server.js.LICENSE.txt */
but where is this file?
I also found this open issue
   https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-service/issues/49
which seems to indicate that the code is not free.

Andreas

Hello Andreas, thanks for reviewing my patch.

I apologise for the mistake.

I think "stremio" is the better name. In my opinion, it's more clear for
the end user.

I could neither find the license for that file. It's probably an
overlooked issue, I think we can probably get in touch with the
developers to clarify that. Reading that issue, it seems that they did
not have the source code available for the "server.js", which now it is,
as you can see[1].

Also this post[2] seem to indicate that the intention of the Stremio
developers it to open-source everything.

[1] https://dl.strem.io/server/v4.20.8/desktop/server.js
[2]
https://blog.stremio.com/announcing-stremio-core-embracing-open-source-and-rust

Reading that post it seems that the "server.js" should also fall under
an open-source license.

What do you reckon? Do we need to contact the developers before merging
the package?


Best regards,
Sergio.

I concur with Sergio, the server.js has been available now and the
announcement post does make it clear that it is "open-source". Now of
course we need a license to make it clear if it’s libre (GPL-compatible)
or not. We should contact the developers for that. But I think it is
GPL-compatible, since if you look at the flatpak of Stremio[0] it says
that GPL-3.0-or-later.

So I don’t think there’s much to worry, we should double check it from
the devs and then go forward in adding it. Stremio is a godsend for
people who torrent and self-host their media content.

This all seems to be a bit vague. There is this press release [2] from
2019 that makes announcements like "Stremio-core will be open-source too,
and licensed under the permissive MIT license.", but such a declaration
of intentions does not mean that anything *is* actually published under
such a license. (And for instance, the expat vs. gpl3 question shows the
discrepancy between announcements and reality.)

On the other hand, there is the issue
   https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-service/issues/49
from 2023 in which the "lead dev" arguments that some parts of the code
are and should remain proprietary.

It may just be an oversight, and the hint towards a license file at the
top of server.js is an indication of that, but we cannot be sure and do
not have this license file.

So my opinion is that as long as we have no proofs of a free license,
this package has to be considered proprietary and cannot be added to
Guix. Maybe you could bring this up with the developers and have them
add a license statement, or a link to such a statement, in the server.js
file.

Alright, I've opened an issue in their Github page[1]. Let's see if they
can clarify the license for us.

I've got a reply and seems Andreas was right distrusting the
licensing. According to the developers 'server.js' is proprietary
software[1]

-- Closing this issue due to the package not following Guix guidelines.

thanks for following up! The logic behind using free software to
"only wrap" non-free software, so that the combined work becomes
non-distributable by third parties, is strange, but their decision
to make.
