Default copyright does not allow commercial use, so allowing it explicitly *is* required.
This bug report is about license incompatibility, not missing copyright info. The file with the offending file is still there in version 1.8.0 in Ubuntu 10.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debian/Ubuntu Games Team, which is subscribed to visualboyadvance in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/29630 Title: possible license issue with 2xSaI assembler sources Status in “visualboyadvance” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “visualboyadvance” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: The VBA package includes some portions written in hand-tuned assembler for the i386 platform. These seem to be covered by a non-GPL compatible license. See: ./src/i386/2xSaImmx.asm The copyright information states: "Non-Commercial use of this software is allowed and is encouraged" but says nothing about commercial usage (which *is* allowed by the GPL) Also, the author "requests that any improvements to the engine be submitted to me". This also seems to be a GPL-incompatible requirement. (unless it is just an informal request and not a condition for distributing modified versions of the software). _______________________________________________ Pkg-games-ubuntu mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-games-ubuntu
