-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I would like to package [0] a software that contains a file [1] from unicode.org. The copyright / license notice is : > Copyright (C) 1999-2005, ASMUS, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Distributed > under the Terms of Use in http://www.unicode.org/copyright.html. The license at license [2] isn't a free software license nor does it complies with the DFSG. But Sections A.4. says: > Further specifications of rights and restrictions pertaining to the > use of the particular set of data files known as the "Unicode > Character Database" can be found in Exhibit 1. That sections is relevant for the file in question, as that section says it's relevant to files download from a specific path. Exhibit 1 [3] seems as a free software sections: > Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining > a copy of the Unicode data files and any associated documentation > (the "Data Files") or Unicode software and any associated > documentation (the "Software") to deal in the Data Files or Software > without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, > copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, and/or sell copies of the > Data Files or Software, and to permit persons to whom the Data Files > or Software are furnished to do so, provided that (a) the above > copyright notice(s) and this permission notice appear with all copies > of the Data Files or Software, (b) both the above copyright > notice(s) and this permission notice appear in associated > documentation, and (c) there is clear notice in each modified Data > File or in the Software as well as in the documentation associated > with the Data File(s) or Software that the data or software has been > modified. And the question - do you think I can include the file in Debian. The reason I'm not sure, is the whole mess regarding the non-free license and its free section. Thanks.
