Hi Artur R. Czechowski,
Hello
I would like to package a php4-rrdtool from wnpp[1]. I noticed that this
software has IMO incomplete licence. Full README file is available at:
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/pub/contrib/php4-rrdtool-1.03.txt
Interesting part about copyright below.
You are free to redistribute the source provided my name is kept at
the top of the source files as credit for the original author. I
make no warranties to the usability of this software, nor I am
responsible if your machine explodes (although it shouldn't).
I think that the author's intention was to place this code in any open
source licence but the cited paragraph is not in compliance with DFSG:
there is no information on redistribution of modified sources and/or
binaries.
It's clear that he intends the GPL from his website:
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/license.html
You may wish to clarify that the form of credit discussed is merely a
request. The request interpretation is reinforced by this page which links
to the licence: http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/
The link to the licence states You like RRDtool? There is a simple way to
show your appreciation.
Regards,
Adam
