Yes I know. This URL was in the original package, I could not find
alternative resource. I will try to contact upstream, especially when I
have patches to forward.

I am quite new to this and I am not sure what should be done in this
situation.

Bug#726791: willing to sponsor awstats

2013-12-28 Thread Willi Mann
Hello Sergey, Hello Niels,

I'd be willing to look at awstats 7.2~dfsg-1 and upload it if it looks
OK to me. Is there a packaging-related reason why Niels did not upload
it for you so far?

Bye
Willi

Sadly, the truth appears to be that I have forgotten that there was a

please have a look at it and sponsor it. I am afraid I won't have time
to take time for in the nearest future and I suspect Sergey has waited

Why not? It's not uncommon for an upstream to give their code and
their art/data assets different licenses. In fact, it's quite common
for packages maintained in the Games team, e.g. 0 A.D. imposes a GPL2+
license on their game engine and a CC-BY-SA license on all their
artwork, music, and other game assets. There are also a number of
games packages where the engine is DFSG-compatible but the game assets
are under some non DFSG-compatible license (usually due to a
non-commercial usage clause), and thus packaged in Debian by putting
the engine in contrib and data in non-free.

The upstream Freeplane developers are well within their rights to
include non DFSG-compatible artwork if they wish. It just means that
we have to strip them out / replace them (c.f. Firefox/Iceweasel), or
move the package from main to non-free.

Regards,
Vincent

Not for Debian main, no. You will have to strip the icons from the
software, or move it to non-free.

Yes[*]

[*]: So long as the icons are totally and sepretely loaded. For
 instance, no one would claim the GPL'd GIMP program can only edit
 GPL compatable images, just as in the general case, I don't think
 it's a problem for a GPL'd program to render or load in non-GPL'd
 assets.

Re: Restrictive Artwork License

2013-12-28 Thread Eric L.
Hi,

I would tend to agree with what Paul wrote but IANAL and you should ask on 
debian-legal for a more authoritative answer.
A few more comments below:

software, or move it to non-free.
The author should provide a clear license, e.g. using Creative Commons, as even 
redistributing artwork might be understood as a right of use, which Debian 
wouldn't have and hence even non-free would be impossible.


 -- Is it even compatible with the GPL-2+ license of Freeplane?

Yes[*]
I guess, it means that having the icons in a jar file isn't OK, having them in 
the file system is OK, but java was always a border case because it doesn't 
link as it was understood when the GPL2 was written (GPL3 might even be 
another story).
The easiest would be if upstream would change their plans and not take this 
artwork, no icon justifies the trouble, but I know upstream, coolness vs. legal 
were always difficult discussions ;-) 


 Thanks and Happy New Year,
All the same,
Eric
