hello, we are the upstream developer of both (the license and the othman project)
first of all please just put it in non-free and save my time. I'm a developer and I got things todo other than teaching people what does Fiqh mean. > "Harm others" is a vague term unlike json.org license < http://www.json.org/license.html we did not use a vague term like "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil." as we have set the criteria which is the Shari'a it's well-established jurisprudence (Fiqh) and it's taught in Universities all over the world (including the west) and has be so (well-established) since the raise of 4 Fiqh schools 1200 years ago. > unless you consider criticizing Islam to be "harming". For some reason people in the west like you links Islam with censorship, this is a joke! what does this has to do with the review ? because from what I see, you are telling people that we got the following plot: 1. make a Quran browser with vague license 2. push it to debian/ubuntu/...etc. 3. sue those who criticize Islam for copyright infringement BTW: the license is not only used in our Quran browser project, it's also used by things like a web framework http://git.ojuba.org/cgit/okasha/tree/ so don't troll us with such examples > unless we interpret the phrase "permissive principles" as limited to only those parts of Islam which grant some kind of permission rather than forbid something. permissive law is just a commonly used alias for Islamic law, it's not parts of it. It's called so because one of its principles says "الأصل في الأشياء الإباحة" "every thing is permissible unless otherwise shown" > ... irc ... fedora ... one can't take irc for anything, it's not even logged. You should refer to fedora legal ML here is the link http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/legal/2010-February/001148.html > * use in a nuclear power plant. ... to be outright evil. here is our FAQ (which I'm too busy to continue) http://www.ojuba.org/wiki/waqf/faq * How Waqf passes “The freedom to run the program, for any purpose” in FSF's definition of Free Software while “Waqf” ? o later it says “to help your neighbor” not to kill him! having a license from the author does not make illegal things legal. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
