Hi Debian-legal. We (gNewSense) just had someone report [3] two clauses in the krb5 (source) package. [1] has its current (Sid) copyright file. I dont see a bug about it, so i'm asking if someone could look at the licence and say if they think the clauses are DFSG free or not?
Thanks in advance, karl. [1] http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/k/krb5/krb5_1.6.dfsg.3~beta1-2/copyright [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?ordering=normal;archive=both;version=;dist=unstable;package=krb5;repeatmerged=1 [3] Email to gnewsense-users follows: ... I think the license of krb5 (http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/k/krb5/krb5_1.4.3-5ubuntu0.2/) has two unclear sections regarding freedom: * line 18-21: "Export of this software from the United States of America may require a specific license from the United States Government. It is the responsibility of any person or organization contemplating export to obtain such a license before exporting." This section may not suit freedom 2: The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor. * line 81-83: "OpenVision also retains copyright to derivative works of the Source Code, whether created by OpenVision or by a third party." I think this could threat this software freedom. pitof _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users -- Karl Goetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian / Ubuntu / gNewSense -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
