Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal dict.leo.org was transferred to a new company, called "Online Service by LEO GmbH". This new company has set our a new copyright statement:
http://dict.leo.org/pages.ende/copyright_en.html?lp=ende&lang=en This statement clearly prohibits the *distribution* of tools which do not return the advertising banners upon submittal. (The german version explicitly talks about not allowing skripts, but I don't know which version is authorative). The clause in question reads: All publicly available solutions need to treat queries as if they were submitted on our own site dict.leo.org. As our free service is largely funded by advertising we do not allow "optimised" solutions that do not display our advertising banners and logos, etc. Since leo is "optimized", i.e. returns only the translated words, it unfortunately now violates the copyright license of dict.leo.org and hence has to be removed from Debian. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.deb-7-grsec Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- Dr. Helge Kreutzmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dipl.-Phys. http://www.helgefjell.de 64bit GNU powered gpg signed mail preferred Help keep free software "libre": http://www.ffii.de/
