Added Vicky and CheckHash program to AUR

Hello I'm Filipe Marques and developed the Vicky and CheckHash program.

Vicky is a GUI program that converts video files to audio files using ffmpeg.
You can select one or more video files and then you click on 'Convert'.
The user interface is simple and easy to use.

CheckHash is a GUI program that compare hashs strings from hashs in txt files of downloaded files using sha1sum from GNU Coreutils.

Using Arch Linux, you can install it through AUR Arch User Repository and using yaourt:

yaourt -S vicky

or

yaourt -S checkhash

Vote in the packages at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?SeB=m&K=ff2014!
These projects are licensed under the GNU GPL v.3

Re: Added Vicky and CheckHash program to AUR

Welcome to Arch ff2014. Mind that this is the Arch forum, not Manjaro, so we don't need the install instructions for that

One thing I noticed is that on your github pages, you linked to the arch wiki on arch influenced distros as "Arch derivatives". If you read that part, you'll see that most of those are NOT actually based on Arch and as such don't have access to the AUR.

Re: Added Vicky and CheckHash program to AUR

Good effort, but how can they be GPLv3 licensed and copyrighted (as you state on github) at the same time?

GPL does not state that you give up copyright. It merely means that you give other people the right to do as they wish with the code provided they keep to the licence terms. Without the copyright, the licence has no bearing.

Read section 2, paragraph 1 of the GPL3. You'll see.

I thought it was called "copyleft"

Re: Added Vicky and CheckHash program to AUR

There is no collision. The entire thing is first copyrighted and then distributed under a licence. Should the licence lose validity for one reason or the other, the copyright is still intact. While this is unnecessary, redundant and probably shooting sparrows with cannons for such a project, dual licencing is not unheard of. Have a look at Qt. You can either GPL everything that links against it or buy a commercial licence. In addition, the copyright will apply to any part of the project, that is not covered by the GPL. Whatever that might be. Poor sparrows.

The funny thing is that they need copyright for copyleft to work. If there was no copyright on the code, the copyleft licence would not hold as the programmer would not be able to exercise any rights over the code. I do think however, that ff2014 might need to reconsider the statement once he gets some pull requests. He will not have copyright on those unless agreed otherwise...

But lets try to keep on topic (Sorry ff2014 for the hijack).

Maybe, just maybe, you want to give some more information? Like what it is supposed to do and a link to the source and aur package.

Since the threads were merged, this is less of a problem. Now the first post states the purpose of the applications

Thanks for the explanation !

Hey user runical, if are a developer you can help these projects or if you are a packager stay tuned for more news, because I'm doing a special tool for packagers !
