All,
Within the dapl2 package, there are two source files:
dapl-2.0.7/test/dtest/GETOPT.C
dapl-2.0.7/test/dtest/GETOPT.H
were derived by Intel Corporation from public domain code originally
owned by AT&T. Intel modified the code and licensed it under the license
shown below - effectively a proprietary license which states that it is
license "free of charge" but does _not_ give sufficient rights to
actually copy/modify/distribute the code.
However, we (SuSE/Novell) tried building the package without the files
(i.e. added a rm in the spec file) and the package built successfully.
Since they are not used at all, we (SuSE/Novell) have consider removing
them completely from _source_ and _binary_ (in the same manner that we
remove e.g. mp3 decoders from the tarball and the binary) as it
represents an unnecessary business risk for which there is no
perceivable business advantage to be gained.
These files came in with some WinOF updates. They should not be included
with the Linux distribution package. Hmmm, do you picked up the dapl
package from git tree instead of released packages from OFA downloads?
Either way, you are correct, these files should be removed.
