You have apparently not read our licensing document at /lib/legal/NOTICE, which explicitly names the terms of the original Plan 9 code, and assigns the MIT license only to changes produced by 9front. As the labs-provided code has been made available under different licenses, we have updated this to reflect the changes, from Lucent Public License, through the GPL relicense, and then the MIT license. At all times we've complied with the distribution requirements of all applicable licenses. > The first thing such people have to check is the way you handle licenses. Yes, and our handling of them has been impeccable, with a wonderful end state where all of the Plan 9 code, both from the Labs and from 9front, can live happily ever after under the same license thanks to a lot of work from people who cared. One by one we're getting rid of the third-party software -- I particularly look forward to the day we can finally ditch Ghostscript -- but in the meantime these accusations of license violations are misinformed and have no basis in reality. khm ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tcf128fa955b8aafc-M27e972c2ed30ae3748f1d0d4 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
