Grants only right to "use", which is vague but not normally taken to mean more than "perform" or "run"; i.e. a read-only use. Doesn't grant rights to modify and redistribute, so these remain reserved to the copyright holder. Fails DFSG §1 and §3. > If you feel that these sounds have helped you then say thanks to > independent.nu' in the end credits of your film. A request, so probably not a restriction on actions. DFSG-neutral. > Do you consider this DFSG compatible? Without explicit freedom to derive modified works, and redistribute with or without modification, I'd say this work is not DFSG-free. You might like to advise the upstream to choose a well-known free software license like the Expat license or ISC license, if those have a Swedish translation available. -- \ “Earth gets its price for what Earth gives us.” —James Russell | `\ Lowell | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
