Those two files were contributed to us by scientists at LANL. It is
our understanding that their intention was to share them with the
community.
However, if you feel the LANL copyright does not meet your needs,
then you're welcome to redistribute Random123 without those files.
The inclusion of those files is only triggered by the 'xlc' and 'pgcc'
compilers,
neither of which is part of a Debian distribution.

Hi,
as wrote in my last mail I intend to package Random123 for Debian.
Before any software can be included into Debian a thorough check of
licenses is done by our ftpmaster team. One of them has found issues
with two files. Could you please clarify the permission for using and
disrtibuting these files?
Kind regards
Andreas.

Hi Andreas,
the file headers of:
Random123-1.09/include/Random123/features/pgccfeatures.h
Random123-1.09/include/Random123/features/xlcfeatures.h
say:
Copyright (c) 2013, Los Alamos National Security, LLC
All rights reserved.
"(...)The U.S. Government has rights to use, reproduce, and distribute
this software.(...)"
But what about my rights?
Thorsten
