Sun Microsystems, Inc. Binary Code License Agreement

Mathieu Malaterre — 2012-05-21T12:35:42

Hi,

  I recently received a report that jai-* packages may not be
compatible with debian non-free. Specifically I am looking at
jai-core's MEDIALIB FOR JAI/SUPPLEMENTAL LICENSE TERMS section 2:

...
2. License to Distribute Software.  In addition to the license granted
in Section 1 (Software Internal Use and Development License Grant) of
these Supplemental Terms, subject to the terms and conditions of this

non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to reproduce and

Figlet relicensed from AFL to BSD-3

Jonathan McCrohan — 2012-05-14T08:37:41

[Originally sent yesterday, but silently dropped due to over-size.
Resending modified version now.]

Hi -legal,

I am currently working on an updated figlet package (which currently in
non-free see #274950 and [1]).

During my work I discovered that the 2.2.3 release [2] re-licensed the
package as BSD-3 clause. This was agreed with the authors on the figlet
mailing list [3].

The main changes are in the LICENCE [4] file, and the copyright header
in figlet.c [5]. I have asked for clarification from the current
upstream figlet maintainer, and and received confirmation that the main
package along with the 'ours' fonts are all BSD-3 licensed [6].

To me, this means that the main figlet package is now DFSG-compliant.
Would someone else be able to confirm for me that this package is ok to
move back from non-free to main?

Note: I am only concerned about the core package at the moment. (Though
I may be back to discuss a possible figlet-contrib-fonts package at a
later date.)

Thanks,
Jon

Possible compatibility issue custom license versus GPL(2) in cacti

Paul Gevers — 2012-05-12T09:19:51

Hi,

While working on the package cacti, I came across some files included in
that project where I am unsure of the distributability or compatibility
of the code, since the cacti project itself is under the GPL2 license.

The files in question are in the include/treeview folder which can be
viewed on-line at [1], i.e. ftiens4.js and ftiens4_export.js. As the
license for these files is not included in the project, but a link is
provided in the headers for these files, I took a look at the web-site
of the treeview project [2], where a link can be found to what I believe
are the two possible licenses for this source. I have copied the
Distributor's license below this e-mail. The part I am worried about is
this:
"""
    You are not authorized to download and/or use the TreeView source
code from this application for your own purposes.
"""

Could you please help me identifying if/what actions need to be taken?
If this license is incompatible with GPL2 I expect that I should at
least contact upstream about this lic

Simon Josefsson — 2012-05-10T09:26:21

Hi,

Has this license been evaluated before?  RFC 1950-1952 contains:

   Copyright (c) 1996 L. Peter Deutsch and Jean-Loup Gailly

   Permission is granted to copy and distribute this document for any
   purpose and without charge, including translations into other
   languages and incorporation into compilations, provided that the
   copyright notice and this notice are preserved, and that any
   substantive changes or deletions from the original are clearly
   marked.

   A pointer to the latest version of this and related documentation in
   HTML format can be found at the URL
   <ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/documents/zlib/zdoc-index.html>.

The license initially doesn't give permissions to make modifications,
although it later require that any changes are clearly marked, which I
guess can be seen as the intention is to allow modifications.

Is the license DFSG-free?

National Land Survey open data licence - version 1.0 - 1 May 2012

Timo Juhani Lindfors — 2012-05-10T09:27:41

Hello,

I realize that -legal is mainly for getting advice on what can be
included in Debian. However, if somebody has extra time I'd like to get
a second opinion on the license that the National Land Survey of Finland
is using for the dataset that they recently made public. This data might
get imported to OSM soon so eventually it might reach Debian in some
form (as an example map for a car navigation program for example). I
personally find the last bullet point of section 2.2 non-free. Can you
find anything else that is problematic?

Is m4 autoconf code "like a compiler or linker"?

Paul Elliott — 2012-05-05T16:25:45

I have some gplv3 autoconf m4 files in my project.

These files exist solely to tell the compiler how to find the include files and 
what compiler options to use, and tell the linker how to find the libraries, 
and what linker options to use.

None of the code in these m4 files exists at runtime.

I wonder if inclusion of these files in my project forces  me to upgrade to 
gplv3+ from gplv2+, which I would rather not do unless necessary.

Can I say that since this code does not exist at runtime, the use of these m4 
files is like the use of a compiler or linker?

If I used a v3 compiler or linker in my project, that would not force me to 
make my project v3. Since all versions of the GPL allow "use" almost without 
restriction.

This is really saying that since these files are used at compile/link time my 
ultimate result is not a derived work, even partially of these files.

Also the author has placed a gplv3 special exception that allows "the output 
of autoconf" to be propagated. But by the argument abov

Channel logos in vdr-plugin-markad

Tobi — 2012-04-28T14:38:25

Hi!

I intend to upload the vdr-plugin-markad, a VDR plugin which detects 
commercial breaks in VDR recordings.

The plugin uses monochrome masks to support the detection of channel logos.

See: http://www.tighturl.com/59n0

Such a mask isn't the real channel logo, but it was extracted from one.

Should the channel logo masks be stripped from the package?

BR,

Tobias

"Minimized" JavaScript in upstream tarball

Dmitry Nezhevenko — 2012-04-26T18:34:08

Hi,

I'm trying to package a "web" application that contains some
minimized third-party JavaScript code. It's from JQuery world.

Anyway I'm going to package "git" snapshot because latest release needs
to old versions of dependencies (like django < 1.4). 

So I've a target in debian/rules to get tarball with source snapshot. It
removes all such JavaScript. Later debian/links creates symlinks to files
from corresponding libjs-* packages.

I've faced an issue where one of JS files is "obfuscated" such way, but
it's not so populate so it's not in debian now:

https://github.com/reviewboard/reviewboard/blob/4be2b88fa584d2c958871fce7f9ce20f80b3d7ad/reviewboard/static/rb/js/jquery.masonry.js

Upstream distributes in both "source" and "minimized" forms:

http://masonry.desandro.com/jquery.masonry.min.js
https://github.com/desandro/masonry/blob/master/jquery.masonry.js

How this particular file should be handled? The only idea I've is to
remove this file in my get-git-snapshot-source step and download "right"
one in

No source code for wesnoth-music

Evgeny Kapun — 2012-04-15T20:08:27

Hi,
I've found that music tracks for The Battle for Wesnoth (package wesnoth-music in Debian) are only provided as compressed Ogg Vorbis files, without any information used to generate them. I have two questions:

* Does wesnoth-music comply with DFSG? I've heard that at certain point DFSG only applied to programs, but later firmware, documentation and other materials were also included. Does DFSG (and, specifically, its requirement of having source code included) apply to music?

* Does distributing wesnoth-music without source code comply with its license (GPL 2+)?

There was some discussion about this problem on wesnoth forums [1][2]. It mentions that at least some of music files in question were generated using proprietary software, and that even the authors can't regenerate some of them anymore.
