Indeed. Furthermore, unless there's a strong reason for doing otherwise,[1] packages which produce a single binary package should have a source package with the same name as the binary package. [And ideally, if they produce more than one binary package, the source package should share the same prefix as at least some of the binary packages produced if they are not named identically to one of the binary packages produced.] We don't need more crazy cases where src:A produces bin:B and src:B produces bin:A. 1: For example, they're currently producing bin:foo8, and are eventually going to be producing bin:foo9, then calling the source src:foo seems reasonable. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com I'm wrong to criticize the valor of your brave men.

I've talked with Matt Zimmerman, who talked with the correct people at Ubuntu, who confirmed that it was accpetable use from their perspective, that it was "NOT necessary to rename or rebrand these packages from a trademark perspective". He indicated that the trademark policy as described on the website was primarily directed at Ubuntu as a distribution.

It's fine with me if it ends up being maintained by the glibc team eventually; I just need unscd now becauser nscd being so hideous is causing me no end of grief. It is a separate upstream, though, so it should be separate from glibc source-wise. I do plan on making it so that it can easily be installed in place of nscd.

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: d...@debian.org * Package Name: unscd * Version : 0.36 * Upstream: Denys Vlasenko * URL : http://busybox.net/~vda/unscd/ * License : GPL-2 Description: Micro Name Service Caching Daemon A daemon which handles passwd, group and host lookups for running programs and caches the results for the next query. You only need this package if you are using slow Name Services like LDAP, NIS or NIS+. . This particular NSCD is a complete rewrite of the GNU glibc nscd which is a single threaded server process which offloads all NSS lookups to worker children; cache hits are handled by pthe parent, and only cache misses start worker children, making the parent immune to resource leaks, hangs, and crashes in NSS libraries. .

Well, it actually seems rather strange to me for an organization which is designed to "protect" artists disallowing artists from determining how their own works are licensed, so I'm trying to give them the benifit of the doubt here. > Seriously, do you think my idea of writing a license has merit?

Bug#383316: Choosing a license for Frets on Fire songs
First off, thanks to all involved for working through this; legal stuff is annoying, but getting it right early makes it all worthwhile in the end. On Tue, 27 Mar 2007, Jason Spiro wrote: > We have a question about the default songs for the guitar-simulation > game Frets On Fire.

There's really no point to drafting such a license, because it would not be acceptable for main, and more to the point, Teosto would have to vet it. Teosto's lawyers should really be the ones spending time and money to do so. (After all, that's what they're paid to do.) What needs to happen for the work to go in main is that Teosto needs to grant for whatever works that they own the copyright for the ability to distribute them under MIT/Expat (or similar) in addition to whatever license they'd use for uses of the work which are not in compliance with MIT/Expat. If it's decided that Teosto cannot be convinced to be slightly less antiquated in their copyright doctrine, then the alternative is to use whatever standard "game only" redistribution license Teosto uses (or will write) and then distribute them in non-free with game itself in contrib or main, depending on whether it depends upon the songs or has enough songs included to work without them.

Description : cli utilities for dpt_i2o based raid cards
Contains dpteng and raidutil which are used to configure and
modify Adaptec's I2O based RAID controllers well as DPT
SmartRaid V cards from the command line. Does not include
Adaptec's gtk based configuration utilities.
Note that these licence for this package, while publicly available for
download and already packaged by myself, has not been confirmed
competely as BSD to my satisfaction, although Deanna Bonds has
indicated in private email that the final license will be BSD or
BSD-like. I will not be offering it for inclusion in Debian or
publicly until that happens {at which time I'll need a sponsor ;-)}.
If for some reason the final license is not a well known DFSG free
license, I'll probably end up asking debian-legal about it as well.
Additionally, I have autoconfiscated the original distribution, as
they were built using makedepend and a horrid assortment of compiler
flags. Aparently they are also able to be compiled for BSD, so I will
attempt to package them for Debian/BSD as soon as I figure out how to
do that. ;-)
