Hello MySQL I maintain the MySQL packages for the Debian distribution and are facing some licence issues here.
Currently (as of 4.1.8) the manual.texi includes the following licence information: @c This manual is NOT distributed under a GPL style license. @c Use of the manual is subject to the following terms: @c - Conversion to other formats is allowed, but the actual @c content may not be altered or edited in any way. @c - You may create a printed copy for your own personal use. @c - For all other uses, such as selling printed copies or @c using (parts of) the manual in another publication, @c prior written agreement from MySQL AB is required. @c @c Please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more information or if @c you are interested in doing a translation. If this is intentionally, it means that Debian cannot even distribute the manual in the non-free section. (I wonder if RedHat has such a written permission because they, too distribute the manual in e.g. mysql-4.1.10a-1.RHEL4.1.src.rpm from the 4WS enterprise edition and probably others...) Can you confirm that I understand this right? thanks, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
