Bug#555168: Unclear license situation for (e)glibc locales provided by you

2012-06-27 Thread Helge Kreutzmann
Hello A S Alam,
thanks for your reply, and no, you did not miss anything, the e-mail
was kindly quickly directed to you (by bubulle).

Did you also do the locale file for pa_IN (e-mail address
amanli...@netscape.net)?

From your reply I assume GNU General Public License V2 or later is
fine for both files?

Thanks again!

Best regards

  Helge

 I am fully agree with any changes in locale file, whichever you think
 is more suitable free software license. As I am not expert for
 liceneses, while you people can provide better choice to keep
 software free. All my contribution for open source should be
 available as free software and though should be part of debian.
 
 Please let me know if anything I need to do other than this.

 To A S Alam, could you address the below question about the Punjabi
 locale (this is pa_PK as it seems that pa_IN doesn't have the
 offending sentence included).
 
 Quoting Helge Kreutzmann (deb...@helgefjell.de):
 Hello,
 you are listed as contact person/author of the following locale:
 
 pa_PK
 
 This locale comes with a statement
 
 % Distribution and use is free, also
 % for commercial purposes.
 
 Thus it does not allow modification; it is unclear, however, if this
 statement was meant as a license.
 
 As discussed in
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=555168 this
 locale could strictly speaking not be part of Debian which would be a
 great loss. (Currently it is allowed pending investigation).
 
 To properly resolve this, I would like to ask you the following
 question:
 
 Would you be willing to relicense this locale to a proper license,
 e.g. (L)GPL v2 or higher or another free software license of your choice?
 
 If you have any questions regarding this issue, do not hesitate to
 contact me (via the reply-to address set).
 
 Thanks for helping to resolve this!
 
  Helge
