#681654 kstars-data-extra-tycho2: undistributable
Hi, if http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=681654#52 is correct and the issue is commercial use (and not nondistributability) how about just moving kstars-data-extra-tycho2 to non-free instead of having this bug delay wheezy release?

I am personally convinced that such a requirement is non-free. I think it's very similar to one of the clauses found in CC-v3.0 licenses. See for instance my analysis of CC-by-v3.0: https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/07/msg00124.html However, Debian FTP-masters disagree with me on the freeness of works released under the terms of CC-v3.0 licenses: https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2010/01/msg00084.html Hence, it's *possible* (but not granted) that FTP-masters would consider the above-discussed section 2.2 as acceptable, unfortunately. It seems that since CC has such a clause it is getting copied to other licenses. I heard of one such license this week: Helsinki Region Infoshare – data pool licence 1.

Hi Clark and Francesco, Poli invernom...@paranoici.org writes: I am convinced that a good Free Software license would be suitable for releasing data. Hence, I think that this license, even if it managed to meet the DFSG (which it does *not*, in my own personal opinion!), would add nothing useful to the already long list of existing licenses. It just contributes to license proliferation, which is very bad. Thanks for the comments, I've tried to forward them to the people who wrote the license. I hope they'll adjust the last paragraph of 2.2 but I'm afraid they won't adopt an existing open source license. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

National Land Survey open data licence - version 1.0 - 1 May 2012
Hello, I realize that -legal is mainly for getting advice on what can be included in Debian. However, if somebody has extra time I'd like to get a second opinion on the license that the National Land Survey of Finland is using for the dataset that they recently made public. This data might get imported to OSM soon so eventually it might reach Debian in some form (as an example map for a car navigation program for example). I personally find the last bullet point of section 2.2 non-free. Can you find anything else that is problematic? Full license from http://www.maanmittauslaitos.fi/en/NLS_open_data_licence_version1_20120501 follows: National Land Survey open data licence - version 1.0 - 1 May 2012 1. General information The National Land Survey of Finland (hereinafter the Licensor), as the holder of the immaterial rights to the data, has granted on the terms mentioned below the right to use a copy (hereinafter data or dataset(s)) of the data (or a part of it). The Licensee is a natural or legal person who makes use of the data covered by this licence. The Licensee accepts the terms of this licence by receiving the dataset(s) covered by the licence. This Licence agreement does not create a co-operation or business relationship between the Licensee and the Licensor. 2. Terms of the licence 2.1. Right of use This licence grants a worldwide, free of charge and irrevocable parallel right of use to open data. According to the terms of the licence, data received by the Licensee can be freely: * copied, distributed and published, * modified and utilised commercially and non-commercially, * inserted into other products and * used as a part of a software application or service. 2.2. Duties and responsibilities of the Licensee Through reasonable means suitable to the distribution medium or method which is used in conjunction with a product containing data or a service utilising data covered by this licence or while distributing data, the Licensee shall: * mention the name of the Licensor, the name of the dataset(s) and the time when the National Land Survey has delivered the dataset(s) (e.g.: contains data from the National Land Survey of Finland Topographic Database 06/2012) * provide a copy of this licence or a link to it, as well as * require third parties to provide the same information when granting rights to copies of dataset(s) or products and services containing such data and * remove the name of the Licensor from the product or service, if required to do so by the Licensor. The terms of this licence do not allow the Licensee to state in conjunction with the use of dataset(s) that the Licensor supports or recommends such use. 2.3. Duties and responsibilities of the Licensor The Licensor shall ensure that * the Licensor has the right to grant rights to the dataset(s) in accordance with this licence. The data has been licensed as is and the Licensor * shall not be held responsible for any errors or omissions in the data, disclaims any warranty for the validity or up to date status of the data and shall be free from liability for direct or consequential damages arising from the use of data provided by the Licensor, * and is not obligated to ensure the continuous availability of the data, nor to announce in advance the interruption or cessation of availability, and the Licensor shall be free from liability for direct or consequential damages arising from any such interruption or cessation. 3. Jurisdiction Finnish law shall apply to this licence. 4. Changes to this licence The Licensor may at any time change the terms of the licence or apply a different licence to the data. The terms of this licence shall, however, still apply to such data that has been received prior to the change of the terms of the licence or the licence itself. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Ben Finney ben+deb...@benfinney.id.au writes: * Package name: spim Version : 7.5-1 When I was asked to some university exercises with spim I used spimsal 4.4.2, a fork of an older version of spim that advertises itself to be available under the terms of the GPL v1. How about packaging it instead? I'll quote their README file from http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~spim/cvsweb/cvsweb.cgi/spimsal/README?rev=1.1.1.1content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup entirely here: This release is Version 4.4.2. See the file INSTALL for information on compiling Spim. Spim versions begining with 4.4.1 are on a separate developement track from Spim versions after 5.0. This is due to changes to the GNU licence released with Spim 5.0. Spim 5.0 has many features not present in this version, including cycle level simulation. Spim 4.4.2 has features not in Spim 5.0. Most notible is that this version can assemble SAL (Simple Assembly Launguage). Spim version 4.4.2 is based on Spim version 4.4. Version 4.4 was written by Jim Larus and Alan Siow. Version 4.4.2 is covered by the GNU licence (see COPYING). Version 4.4.2 includes modifications and bug fixes by Scott Kempf. These modifications allow Spim to exectute SAL code, an assembly launguage similar to MIPS assembly language, but easier to use. SAL was designed by James Goodman, Scott Kempf, and Karen Miller. Additions and changes to Spim Version 4.4 are copyrighted by Scott Kempf and are distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, Version 1. Please read this document, which is in the file COPYING. These additions and changes include, but are not limited too: the SAL assembler, error handling improvements, the memory mapped I/O feature, improved installation, improved testing, and the interrupt driven trap handler. // You must not use -DNOMEMIO in the Makefile to use memory mapped I/O.

Until May 1993, please feel free to mail any bugs, complaints, or comments to me at sco...@cs.wisc.edu. Portability is a major consern of mine, so I'd even like to know minor changes needed to make spim compile on your system.
