* Package name : acpica-unix Version : 20050930 Upstream Author : R. Byron Moore / Intel Corp. * URL : http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/ * License : GPLv2 / Other (see below) Description : an ASL compiler/decompiler iasl compiles ASL (ACPI Source Language) into AML (ACPI Machine Language). This AML is suitable for inclusion as a DSDT in system firmware. It also can disassemble AML, for debugging purposes. --- [debian-legal: please Cc me as I'm not subscribed] I'm not very comfortable with the licence language and I'd like somebody to proof-read it before uploading this stuff. I'd say this licence grants enough rights, but there are also a lot of "must". BTW: on [1] it's reported that the code has been GPLed for the Linux package but I'd say that it's referring to the kernel code only: # grep -r GPL * changes.txt:MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") to all modules. tools/acpisrc/asmain.c:" * GNU General Public License (\"GPL\") version 2 as published by the Free\n" Can somebody help? http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/license2.htm Last minute add-on: the acpica-unix-xxxxxxxx.tar.gz provides a linuxification tool that "converts the standard form of the acpica source release (included here) into a version that meets Linux coding guidelines. This consists mainly of performing a series of string replacements and transformations to the code" and adds a GPLv2 token to each file. Unfortunately the code doesn't compile after the linuxification (I still didn't poke with the code to see if they are easy fixable bugs). More suggestions? are there similar cases? thanks -- mattia :wq! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
