I noticed that there is not TOS or EULA when you sign up for the package catalog. Is there actually some licensing agreement we have between the maintainers of the package server and the community members that put packages there?
If not, we really should have one. Otherwise we are opening ourselves up to a large amount of legal trouble. Like what do _we_ have the right to do with packages posted there. (For example, can we make backup copies, can we make test builds, etc.) What do people downloading them have the right to do? If the author doesn't put a license on their package what rights are implicitly granted? What is our policy in case a user posts copyrighted material. etc. [1] If we _do_ have a license or TOS users agree to, we should have a link to it on the front page, or on the sign up page (or both). ~Leif Andersen [1]: I know the answers to most of these questions are obvious to us. i.e. Users have the right to look at the packages, and download them via the `raco` tool. They can also distribute therm under whatever license the package is released under (if any). If someone posts material they don't have the right to post we reserve the right to remove it, etc. etc. However, it is (sadly) important to have this in writing to protect ourselves legally. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
