Hi, My pixelmed-java upload has been rejected for the following reason:
o com/pixelmed/web/package.html is "Copyright all rights reserved" The only reference I could find about this, is the following [1]: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=62656#p363466 Could someone please point me to proper debian documentation explaining the issue with "all rights reserved". Thanks much, [1] The "all rights reserved" notice is an archaism which stems from the period when it was required that an author explicitly proclaim his copyright in order for his work to be protected under copyright law. It generally has not been necessary to mark your work as copyrighted for about two decades now (in some jurisdictions, the change was made about 60 years ago); and the phrase, "all rights reserved", no longer has any legal impact on copyright status. Nowadays, all creative works such as computer programs are afforded copyright protection whether the creator wants it or not. Amongst the rights reserved to the copyright holder is the right to offer a license so that others may copy, modify, and/or distribute the program. It is my understanding that QT Creator is now offered under terms of GNU's Lesser General Public License, but you can contact the copyright owners to try for alternative licensing terms if you wish. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
