Hi, I recently received a report that jai-* packages may not be compatible with debian non-free. Specifically I am looking at jai-core's MEDIALIB FOR JAI/SUPPLEMENTAL LICENSE TERMS section 2:
... 2. License to Distribute Software. In addition to the license granted in Section 1 (Software Internal Use and Development License Grant) of these Supplemental Terms, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including but not limited to, Section 3 (Java Technology Restrictions) of these Supplemental Terms, Sun grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to reproduce and distribute the Software in binary code form only, provided that you (i) distribute the Software complete and unmodified and only bundled as part of your Programs, (ii) do not distribute additional software intended to replace any component(s) of the Software, (iii) do not remove or alter any proprietary legends or notices contained in the Software, (iv) only distribute the Software subject to a license agreement that protects Sun's interests consistent with the terms contained in this Agreement, (v) agree to defend and indemnify Sun and its licensors from and against any damages, costs, liabilities, settlement amounts and/or expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any claim, lawsuit or action by any third party that arises or results from the use or distribution of any and all Programs and/or Software, and (vi) bundle the Software with the implementation of the Java Advanced Imaging and the JAI Image I/O Open Source Project. ... The issue here would be that the jai-* packages are libraries, and as such not distributed "bundled as part of your Programs". Could we consider that packages for debian (as as OS) are 'Programs' ? ref: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/non-free/j/jai-core/current/copyright Thanks very much, -M -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
