Hello,
The Guix folks and I are willing to package a piece of software
distributed under the OSLv1.1. The ninth clause specifies that:
"9) Acceptance and Termination. If You distribute copies of the Original
Work or a Derivative Work, You must make a reasonable effort under the
circumstances to obtain the express and volitional assent of recipients
to the terms of this License. Nothing else but this License (or another
written agreement between Licensor and You) grants You permission to
create Derivative Works based upon the Original Work or to exercise any
of the rights granted in Sections 1 herein, and any attempt to do so
except under the terms of this License (or another
written agreement between Licensor and You) is expressly prohibited by
U.S. copyright law, the equivalent laws of other countries, and by
international treaty. Therefore, by exercising any of the rights granted
to You in Sections 1 herein, You indicate Your acceptance of this
License and all of its terms and conditions. This License shall
terminate immediately and you may no longer exercise any of the rights
granted to You by this License upon Your failure to honor the proviso in
Section 1(c) herein."
We would like to distribute the build recipes and pre-built binaries. Do
you think this would be a violation of the OSLv1.1 ?
Regards,
Cyril Roelandt.
