Version: 3.1.0-1
Severity: serious
Hi. There are a couple of aspects of the robotour license that appear
worrying.
I begin by quoting the parts of the license that say what we *may* do
(leaving out parts like private use which are not relevant in the
context of widespread redistribution by debian):
- are allowed to give copies of the software to other people and to
upload the software to BBSs, FTP servers etc. on condition that the
software remains intact in its original state with all files present.
You are not allowed to distribute parts of the software.
- are allowed to modify the source code of the software and to use these
modified versions, but you must get our permission for distributing
modified versions.
The concerns I have are as follows.
1) The debian packages use a patched version of robotour/robconsole.cpp.
The license clearly states that you may not distribute modified
versions without permission. Has such permission been obtained?
If so, this should presumably be noted in debian/copyright.
2) The license states that the software may only be distributed "intact
in its original state with all files present". As I read it, this
would seem to rule out uploading any binary packages at all.
Binaries are not in the original state as provided by upstream, and
many files (such as the original source files) are presumably ommitted
from the binary packages.
Thanks, and sorry to dump this on you. :)
Ben.
