Re: [Firebird-devel] license for examples wrong links

2013-07-19 Thread Paul Beach
The two links at IBPhoenix for the original license (IPL) 
http://www.ibphoenix.com/about/firebird/ipl
and the (IDPL) 
http://www.ibphoenix.com/about/firebird/idpl

Are true representatives of both licenses. 

The IPL is the original license, that was released along with the original 
source
code (i.e the same Inprise web page) as per how Ann, I and others devised it, 
subsequent Inprise/Borland versions had some modifications made by 
Inprise/Borland (as was their right), 
however as far as the Firebird project was concerned we always pointed to the 
original version since this was the license that was used when the code was 
forked. 
You can take a copy if the licenses, place them on firebirdsql,org and point to 
that if you like. 

However regardless of whether the source code has currently the right URL or 
not, IBP has always 
hosted an original and correct version of both licenses.

Regards
Paul

If the project is going to host the pages, I would suggest that the page have a 
header stating that the page contents are the true copies of the license, for 
which page links are no longer available from the copyright holder.

[Firebird-devel] license for examples wrong links

2013-07-18 Thread marius adrian popa
some links are wrong in the headers of examples

https://github.com/asfernandes/firebird/tree/master/examples/interfaces

link should be http://www.ibphoenix.com/about/firebird/idpl

one example does have an old license header Interbase 1.0 license

https://github.com/asfernandes/firebird/blob/master/examples/interfaces/02.update.cpp

I think link should be:
http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/initial-developer-s-public-license-version-1-0/

I'm sorry I've missed changes in our doc.
But must say we have a lot of files pointing to invalid
http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenixpage=ibp_idpl

May be this requires massive fix?

As designed.
It contains code from old APi samples.

 No, we can't change something in Inprise license.

I disagree, I think it is perfectly fine (and I think legally even 
necessary) to either replace the URL to one that works, or - if you 
really think it is such a problem to touch this text - add an addendum 
that points to a working location.

Funny thing though, I looked it up in the wayback machine, and the only 
snapshot of http://www.Inprise.com/IPL.html with actual content was on 
August 15, 2000, in the next snapshot on October 18, 2000 it was 
replaced by a redirect to http://www.borland.com/interbase/IPL.html . 
The redirect disappears between December 11, 2004 and March 7, 2005.

The Borland page it links to with the IPL already disappeared between 
April 5, 2001 and June 3, 2001.
