From: Dave Cinege <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2000 02:50:19 -0400 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Analog licence violates DFSG Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: www.psychosis.com X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.74 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16 i686) Package: analog Version: 1:4.01-1 Severity: important The Analog licence states: 1.Any action which is illegal under international or local law is forbidden by this licence. Any such action is the sole responsibility of the person committing the action. This provision of the licence blatently violates section 6 of the DFSG which states: 6.No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research. Analog should be moved to non-free, or the licence should be changed. I brought this issue up with the author of Analog several years ago, and it's sad to see he still has yet to change this licence. The author has been CC'ed with this bug report.
