Hi. I have uploaded my first package, but it is rejected to be registered as main, so I did re-upload it as non-free, and asked the author to change the copyright in order to be distributed as main.
the old copyright is %%% Redistribution and use with or without modification are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: 1. Redistributions contain all file contained in the original distribution. In particular, binary only distribution is not allowed. 2. Modifications are documented. 3. The copyright notice and this list of conditions are maintained. %%% and the reason of the reject is - binary only distribution is not allowed - restriction on not being able to remove files So, I proposed the author to change the license as following, and He agrees to this change now. %%% Redistribution and use with or without modification are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: 1. One of the following (1-a,1-b,1-c) 1-a. Source distribution have all information in the original distribution. 1-b. Binary distribution have the complete corresponding machine-readable source code to build up the working version of the software. 1-c. Binary distribution have the written offer, valid for at least one year, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to build up the working version of the software. 2. Modifications are documented. 3. The copyright notice and this list of conditions are maintained. Note: I (the author of this software) recommend that you (the user) make the executable binary from the source code using your own system. Also, I welcome the improvement of the code from you, and I hope that you will create the better IPL code by yourself using the sample code in the original archive of this software. %%% Is this license DSFG compliant ? Are there any more objection ? Please tell me your opinion. Thanks. -- Taketoshi Sano: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
