Launchpad itself

Open-source project got marked as proprietary

Asked by Mechanical snail

I registered https://launchpad.net/ikvm in order to link the Ubuntu package to the upstream Sourceforge project. It is open-source, mostly under a permissive free software license, with parts under the GPLv2+Classpath exception. Consequently, when creating the project I selected "GNU GPL v2, Other/Open Source" as the license. However, the project now says "This project’s licence is proprietary.". This should be fixed.

It looks like the license is essentially the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zlib_License, which is GPL-compatible and approved by the OSI and FSF.

Will that let me fix it? It's not actually my project; I just registered it to link it upstream.
