Hi, Could I get an opinion on the following license with regard to DFSG freeness:
The license is available at http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/cdf/html/CDF_copyright.html and is reproduced below: ====================== Copyright 2002 National Space Science Data Center NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center This software may be copied or redistributed as long as it is not sold for profit, but it can be incorporated into any other substantive product with or without modifications for profit or non-profit. If the software is modified, it must include the following notices: * The software is not the original (for protection of the original author's reputations from any problems introduced by others) * Change history (e.g. date, functionality, etc.) This copyright notice must be reproduced on each copy made. This software is provided as is without any express or implied warranties whatsoever. ======================= I'm concerned about the first sentence which seems to claim that for-profit distribution is not allowed unless it is part of another product. The clause seems a bit wooly to me. I'm interested in this as libcdf is an optional dependency for a package I maintain (kst).
