Hello debian-legal, There is a package at mentors[1] and a RFS[2] requesting this package to be included in Debian. Looking at it I found that, although this package uses license BSD-3 license, it contains the following excerpt:
-------------------------------------------------------------------- A portion of the source code is derived from the TPM specification, which has a TCG copyright. It is reproduced here for reference. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Licenses and Notices Copyright Licenses: * Trusted Computing Group (TCG) grants to the user of the source code in this specification (the "Source Code") a worldwide, irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty free, copyright license to reproduce, create derivative works, distribute, display and perform the Source Code and derivative works thereof, and to grant others the rights granted herein. * The TCG grants to the user of the other parts of the specification (other than the Source Code) the rights to reproduce, distribute, display, and perform the specification solely for the purpose of developing products based on such documents. Is this last paragraph a possible violation of DSFG, or, should it not be taken in consideration since it seems to exempt the source code? Thank you, Breno [1] https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tss2/tss2_1045-1.dsc [2] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=864532
