Description Peter 2010-01-14 16:00:11 UTC 
Semantic forms is distributed under the GPL, but it includes the FloatBox library, which has a CC non-attribution license ( http://randomous.com/floatbox/license ).

As I understand it, these licenses are incompatible. Am I missing something?
Comment 1 Yaron Koren 2010-01-14 16:07:24 UTC 
Hi, well, I hope so - Semantic Forms uses an old version of Floatbox from May 2008, back when Floatbox was using the CC "by" license, which is (as far as I know) compatible with GPL. This is specified at the bottom of the README file, though not very clearly:

http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/SemanticForms/README?view=markup

Hopefully that means everything is workable.
Comment 2 Yaron Koren 2010-02-02 20:02:58 UTC 
Setting to "INVALID", barring any further input/information...
