Hi, in a mail exchange with one of my applicants, he asked me about the license of libcompface. Basically, from libcompface's readme, it's this:
| Compface - 48x48x1 image compression and decompression | Copyright (c) James Ashton 1990. | Written 89/11/11 | | Feel free to distribute this source at will so long as the above | message and this message are included in full. This is extendend by a message from the author to read: | I don't mind modified versions being distributed. Please included | the original copyright notices as specified and also prominently | note, if it is a modified version, the nature and author(s) of the | modifications. So, you are allowed to distribute modified and unmodified forms of libcompface's source. Note it doesn't mention binary forms. Furthermore, libcompface's source carry this: | * Compface - 48x48x1 image compression. | * | * Copyright (c) James Ashton - Sydney University - June 1990. | * | * Written 11th November 1889. | * | * Permission is given to distribute these sources, as long as the | * copyright messages are not removed, and no monies are exchanged. | * | * No responsibility is taken for any errors on inaccuracies inherent | * either to the comments or the code of this program, but if reported | * to me, then an attempt will be made to fix them. Does the "no monies" part mean "you can't charge money for the act of distributing libcompface"? TIA, -- Marcelo
