           Summary: Webkitgtk 2.5.3: tarball contains APPLE LICENSE file -
                    stating not distributable
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dimstar at opensuse.org


During the inclusion into openSUSE, webkitgtk 2.5.3 has been declined by the legal review due to:

Source / WebInspectorUI / APPLE_IMAGES_LICENSE.rtf

The file states:

"""
\f0\b\fs24 \cf0 Apple Inc.\
Software License Agreement for Web Inspector Images\
Internal Use License Only \'96 No Redistribution Permitted\
\
PLEASE READ THIS SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT ("LICENSE") CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE APPLE SOFTWARE INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE.  BY USING THIS SOFTWARE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE.  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE, DO NOT USE THIS SOFTWARE.\
\pard\pardeftab720\ri0
"""

This does not sound like a license compatible with the spirit of the rest of webkitgtk, which is licensed under GPL, free to redistribution and modification.

(setting severity 'blocker': this blocks inclusion into openSUSE and thus updating GNOME to 3.14)
