Hi Ben and others, I would like to advertise the packages-metadata repository: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/collab-qa/packages-metadata/ svn://svn.debian.org/collab-qa/packages-metadata/ http://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamMetadata Today it already contains 3431 Debian copyright files. Most of them are up to date (but consistency checks have not been implemented yet). Using this tool, one can search for similar license terms in the Debian archive. Note that the pool includes the non-free section... Given the multiplicity of variants, it is hard to tell if there are similar restrictions on works already accepted in Debian. Maybe the DNG SDK from Adobe in digikam ? 5. INDEMNIFICATION If you choose to distribute the Software in a commercial product, you do so with the understanding that you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Adobe against any losses, damages and costs arising from the claims, lawsuits or other legal actions arising out of such distribution.
