Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Tres Seaver (tseaver) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: subprocesss module retains older license header Initial Comment: The header of the file seems to imply that the module is licensed separately from the standard Python license: # subprocess - Subprocesses with accessible I/O streams # # For more information about this module, see PEP 324. # # Copyright (c) 2003-2004 by Peter Astrand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> # # By obtaining, using, and/or copying this software and/or its # associated documentation, you agree that you have read, understood, # and will comply with the following terms and conditions: # # Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and # its associated documentation for any purpose and without fee is # hereby granted, provided that the above copyright notice appears in # all copies, and that both that copyright notice and this permission # notice appear in supporting documentation, and that the name of the # author not be used in advertising or publicity pertaining to # distribution of the software without specific, written prior # permission. # # THE AUTHOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH REGARD TO THIS SOFTWARE, # INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS. # IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR # CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM LOSS # OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, # NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION # WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Peter Åstrand (astrand) Date: 2005-09-23 19:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=344921 Fixed in revision 1.8.2.5 (2.4 branch) and 1.21 (HEAD). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Peter Åstrand (astrand) Date: 2005-03-19 08:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=344921 >Have you signed a contributor agreement yet, Peter?

In this case, it feels better to include the license itself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Brett Cannon (bcannon) Date: 2005-03-04 03:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=357491 Have you signed a contributor agreement yet, Peter? If you have your code has already been relicensed to the PSF under the PSF license. If you haven't you will be asked to eventually and that will retroactively relicense your code over to the PSF, essentially negating all of this pre- existing license. You can replace the above license if you have signed the contributor agreement with: Copyright 2005 by Peter Åstrand. Licensed to PSF under a Contributor Agreement Assuming I am right. =) You can double-check by emailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] or ask at PyCon if you are attending. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Peter Åstrand (astrand) Date: 2005-03-03 22:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=344921 How should the license header look like, then? Basically, I've used xmlrpclib.py as an example. Many other modules have no license header at all, but this might be a problem when subprocess.py is distributed separately from Python. Or? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1138653&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
