As an example further to discussion r.e. youtube-dl, the _*NSFW site*_
Motherless (https://motherless.com/tou (link provided only to provide a
reference for the quote)) has terms of use which state the following:
/3.3 License Grant /
//
/The Company hereby grants you a nonexclusive, nonsublicensable,
nontransferable license to access the Website and its content for your
personal and noncommercial use in accordance with this agreement.
“Access” means visit the Website, use its services, and view or download
its content. “Content” means any material, including the text, software,
scripts, graphics, photos, sounds, music, videos, audiovisual
combinations, interactive features, communications, profiles, streams,
data, and other materials found on the Website. “Personal and
noncommercial use” means a presentation of the content for which no fee
or consideration is charged or received, which takes place in your
private residence or, if outside your residence, is limited to a private
viewing by you. Personal and noncommercial use excludes any public or
private event presentation even if no fee is charged./
This states that the videos are in fact licensed for *noncommericial
*and *personal *use and also includes additional restrictions. This
seems in contrast with the definitions provided at
http://freedomdefined.org/Definition yet this capability is in Parabola
found at
/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/youtube_dl/extractor/motherless.py when
youtube-dl is installed. If OpenMW logic is applied here, this should be
patched for removal.
To sum up so far we have:
* inconsistent viewpoints from the few developers who which to speak
on the subject leaving users to reference other things
* a social contract inconsistently implemented in practice and reference
* a package that was permitted within Parabola which distributed
nonfree artwork directly
* a package in the repository that enabled downloading of nonfree artwork
* a package in the repository that has specifically been modified to
remove the ability to make use of nonfree artwork
* a package in the repository which could be considered reccomending
nonfree artwork
I hope this clarifies the confusion on the subject. If it appears that I
am solely referencing the extreme of the FSDG emulation and not
providing access to non free artwork I would like it to be known that
this is because if we look at the extreme then the maximum amount of
considerations can be raised instead of limiting ourselves by only
thinking of a smaller perspective.
