Adonay Felipe Nogueira : Besides, from the second quote from the GNU FSDG, the new licensing rules in Battle for Wesnoth's add-ons repository would allow licenses that forbid sharing and selling original copies. let's sidetrack campaign logic for a moment and focus on incontrovertibly non-fuctional add-ons whose license forbids commercial distribution... if they aren't part of the distribution and the program simply recommends them, do they violate the GNU FSDG? the provision for nonfree recommendations does not say a thing about non-functional stuff: https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html#documentation -- Isaac David GPG: 38D33EF29A7691134357648733466E12EC7BA943

No, the thread announcing the allowance of cc licenses. It very clearly says that code is still required to be gpl. -- Julie Marchant https://onpon4.github.io
Re: [GNU-linux-libre] Blender, SuperTuxKart and The Battle for Wesnoth.
If you are refering to the thread I posted in this list, then I would like to cite myself: #+BEGIN_QUOTE The rule of not referencing to third-party repositories commited to the GNU FSDG, however, seens to only apply to functional/practical data/works. #+END_QUOTE ... So far, we are in agreement that it only seemed to affect non-functional/practical data/works. However, I continued: #+BEGIN_QUOTE Furthermore, the GNU FSDG mentions, in the section about non-functional data ([[https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.en.html#non-functional-data]]): [...] So far, I have made some basic empirical observation how Battle for Wesnoth's campaigns work, and I found structures that look similar to scripts because some of the campaigns' files have "[if]", "[or]" and "[else]" statements. Besides, from the second quote from the GNU FSDG, the new licensing rules in Battle for Wesnoth's add-ons repository would allow licenses that forbid sharing and selling original copies. #+END_QUOTE That said, I *do* recognize that I failed to explicitly say that the user-made content repository includes campaigns. -- - [[https://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:Adfeno]] - Palestrante e consultor sobre /software/ livre (não confundir com gratis). - "WhatsApp"?

Julie Marchant : Everything you're making a big deal out of has to do with art, not code. maybe not quite everything (at least not in considering the [second thread]). my first impression is that Metasploit is a problem for FSDG-compliant distros. Adonay Felipe made the case yesterday that [Battle of Wesnoth] addons may contain computer programs (even if only of entertainment value), e.g. in the form of game campaign logic. [second thread]: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gnu-linux-libre/2017-08/msg00046.html [Battle of Wesnoth]: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gnu-linux-libre/2017-08/msg00043.html just a friendly clarification for OP and everyone else, because I saw Parabola mentioned in the subject line: that distro has more stringent a policy regarding artwork than GNU asks for, so discussion of such issues should stay within Parabola. -- Isaac David GPG: 38D33EF29A7691134357648733466E12EC7BA943
