greetings! i've been trying to get some license clarifications about gPXE, but haven't recieved much response:
http://etherboot.org/pipermail/gpxe/2009-October/000002.html http://etherboot.org/pipermail/gpxe/2010-April/000884.html i understand that iPXE is essentially a fork of the gPXE codebase, and iPXE could likely be a viable alternative for Debian to consider. i know this isn't exactly the most fun or exciting part of developing an excellent free software project... even though i can get licensing information for various generated roms individually (using "make bin/foo.rom"), in order to include it in Debian, we'll need to get licensing information from the source itself. given that there are various FILE_LICENCE markers in most of the files, if i could get clarification from upstream about what license text actually applies to files marked with FILE_LICENCE, it would make great strides towards being able to include it as part of Debian. for example, a potential clarification could be: files containing the text "FILE_LICENCE ( GPL2_ONLY );" are licensed under the following terms: This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License, version 2, as published by the Free Software Foundation. as well as licensing text for each of: GPL_ANY, GPL_2_OR_LATER, and BSD2. including such information in the COPYRIGHTS file would be ideal (though technically copyrights and licensing are two different things). additionally, is there a plan to make a release of iPXE? thanks for your time! live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
