re module and old Python 1.6 (GPL incompatible) license?
Hi, I already sent this to the python-dev mailing list last week[1], but there was not much interest on the issue. Here is the original message: ### I noticed that some files of the re module still have the (GPL incompatible) 1.6 license notice. Is that on purpose or unintentionally forgotten? If that is on purpose, does that mean that some GPL Python code cannot use the re module? For reference, here are the links to these files (from trunk): http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/re.py?view=markup http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Modules/_sre.c?view=markup Additionally, the files below do not have a complete license header, or they just point to one of the files above: http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/sre_compile.py?view=markup http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/sre_constants.py?view=markup http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/sre_parse.py?view=markup http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Modules/sre.h?view=markup http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Modules/sre_constants.h?view=markup ### On Debian, all pythonX.Y packages seem affected. I don't know the better solution for this, but the old license boilerplate just seemed forgotten on these files.

Well, that certainly simplifies things! Thank you for clarifying. If anyone is aware of restrictions that would make explicit permission necessary, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll go on the premise that the Iceweasel name's lack of trademark protection is a feature, not a bug :-) --Daniel -- NAME = Daniel Richard G. ## Remember, skunks _\|/_ meef?

Re: License requiring to reproduce copyrights in binary distributions.
* Charles Plessy: - The GPL, that assumes that the source is always available, and therefore does not have special requirements for binary distributions. This is incorrect. If the binary includes copyright statements to display them, you may not remove them (see ยง5 (d) in the GPL version 3). In addition to license terms, you have to take moral rights into account. In many countries, software authors have an inalienable right to be named as authors, like any other author. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
