(Please CC me on your responses) Hi all,
I was looking at Adeona [0] and considering ITPing [1] it but then noticed that the license [2] was a bit weird. Under "TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION", it's using the GPLv2, so that's fine. However, under "TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE" it's got the following: "This program is offered "AS IS". Any use of this program is entirely at the user's own risk." which I think is fine and maybe even redundant since the GPL already covers something like that. But then, it also says this: "Any output from this program is intended for informational, research and evaluation purposes only." which seems to disagree with DFSG#6 but also with the GPL since it's, perhaps unintentionally, adding a restriction against commercial uses of the software. Does anybody have any thoughts on this? (I haven't emailed the university about it, I wanted to discuss it here first.)
