I'm not sure if it's license (
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=293346 ) can be considered
free enough to be in main:
Use of the ECW SDK with Unlimited Decompressing and Unlimited Compression for
applications licensed under a GNU General Public style license ("GPL") is
governed by the "ECW SDK PUBLIC USE LICENSE AGREEMENT".
* About modifications:
b) You may make modifications to the Software and distribute your
modifications, in a form that is separate from the Software, such as
patches. The following restrictions apply to modifications:
i) Modifications must not alter or remove any copyright notices in the
Software.
ii) When modifications to the Software are released under this license, a
non-exclusive royalty-free right is granted to the initial
developer of the Software to distribute your modification in future versions
of the Software provided such versions remain available under
these terms in addition to any other license(s) of the initial developer.
iii) You are not permitted to change the ECW file format.
iv) You are not permitted to use Software Product for development or
distribution of "Server Software" that provides services or
functionality on a computer acting as a server.
* About restriction of use (I just don't know DFARS 252.227-7013 so I have no
idea what's said in here)
3) U.S. GOVERNMENT RESTRICTED RIGHTS.
The SOFTWARE PRODUCT and documentation are provided with RESTRICTED RIGHTS.
Use, duplication, or disclosure by the US Government is subject
to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of The Rights in
Technical Data and Computer Software clause at DFARS 252.227-7013
or subparagraphs (c)(1) and (2) of the Commercial Computer Software -
Restricted Rights at 48 CFR 52.227-19, as applicable. Manufacturer is
Earth Resource Mapping Limited.
4) DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS.
a) Rental. You may not rent, lease or lend the SOFTWARE PRODUCT.
I find it to be quite an obscure license, does anyone know for sure?
Greetings,
Miry
