rtl-sdr packaging: Unable to find copyrtight holders for some files

2013-09-01 Thread Adam Cécile (Le_Vert)

Hello!

I packaged rtl-sdr [1] a while ago but I'm having a serious legal issue. 
Some files related to DVB-T tuners don't have any headers and upstream 
[2] didn't answer my call for help...


tuner_fc2580.{c,h} seem to come from a Terratec driver based on linux 
v4l project. I found a tarball named 
30032011_Cinergy_T_Stick_Black_Linux.tar.gz from their own website and 
diff says it's nearly the same as the one included in rtl-sdr, except 
some code removed. So this is the original code for sure but the files 
still don't include any headers. The main file stands being based on 
tuner module but the code doesn't look like being the one from linux' 
kernel file tuner-core.c.


tuner_r820t.{c,h} are even worst. I haven't been able yet to found any 
upstream on Internet, but I keep looking for it... Main file says it 
comes from a Linux kernel driver...


Can you help me ?


Thanks in advance, and please CC me, I'm not subscribed !

Regards, Adam

Dear Jakub,

good catch, the package is not free. I would add that its upstream homepage is
not available anymore, and that his maintainer does not seem to be active
either.  Unless somebody steps up to care of msntp in non-free, I would rather
recommend removal. No package depend on msntp, and its popcon vote score is
around 20 for a while.

Would you like to file the request for removal ?

Have a nice day,

Hi,

reading through the document's Who are you? section I don't think I fit into 
any of the cathegories. I will file a bug against msntp.

Hi,

MIA maintainer agrees with this. Just drop msntp :)

Regards, Adam.
