Package: libapache-mod-fastcgi
Version: 2.4.7~0910052141-1.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer/FastCGI developers
I note from the FastCGI website that the standard FastCGI license (see [0])
does not have the same limitation of use clause that can be found in the
source code for mod-fastcgi.
Specifically:
"Modifications to this Software and Documentation
may be copyrighted by their authors and need not follow the licensing
terms described here, but the modified Software and Documentation must
be used for the sole purpose of implementing the FastCGI specification
defined by Open Market or derivative specifications publicly endorsed
by Open Market and promulgated by an open standards organization and
for no other purpose."
is the clause which limits the use of mod-fastcgi and results in it
being classified as non-free. This clause is not found in the standard
license at [0].
It would be great if this licensing position could be clarified by
the upstream copyright holders so that mod-fastcgi could become
part of the core of Debian.
Thanks
James Page
