Upstream author find a solution :
The next version of KScope, due shortly, uses 'dot' from the command-line=20
instead of dynamically linking with graphviz. This should solve all licensi=
ng problems.



That seems a good solution. Thanks for working on this problem.

  

Hello,

Can you explain me why, by using this command line, you makes the 
license ok, and what the difference? Isn't strange, if you can't use a 
part of code under a license , to find an an other way to use it?
The goal is to not extend the license to the other part of the program, 
isn't it?
An other question, what are the different way to use a dynamical link, 
and what sort of bypass, or alternative can be found to avoid certain 
license's effects?


Thanks

Apache license 1.1 for non-Apache software

2006-04-14 Thread Gregory Colpart
Hi,

I want to package Forwards (see my ITP [1]), a non-Apache
software under Apache License 1.1 [2]).

I read debian-legal archives to have information about 
Apache License version 1.1. Situation seems confuse on the first
thread [3]. This thread [4] explains there is no problem for
Apache software under Apache License.

Note that I am intent to call my Debian package 'sork-forwards-h3'
and with very few patches for upstream version. Note also there are
already packages with this license in "main" : sork-passwd-h3,
ingo1, jython, et cetera.

Could you confirm me that my package will be DFSG-compliant ?
