Bug#631068: nyquist: Commercial use of xlisp not allowed
Hello Roger, I've recently learned that one of the nyquist files contains license terms contrary to the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG) [ http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines ]: On Sat, Jun 25, 2011 at 07:52:01PM +0200, Sam Geeraerts wrote: > The file xlisp/xlbfun.c contains the following license notice: > > /* Copyright (c) 1985, by David Michael Betz > All Rights Reserved > Permission is granted for unrestricted non-commercial use */ > > This clearly does not permit commercial use.

I've just checked and found the latest release of xlisp [ http://www.xlisp.org/ ] has a new license that is compatible the DFSG. Would you consider replacing the problematic files when you make a new release?

It is an object for Pure Data that allows you to use USB HID devices in Pd. The build system is similar in structure to pd-plugin and pd-freeverb, plus it includes the kFreeBSD and Hurd updates, so it should build on all platforms. It depends on pd-mapping and recommends pd-pddp, which are both in NEW. http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-multimedia/pd-hid.git;a=summary There is some code that is not yours, please add Jan Truetzschler Falkenstein to the debian/copyright file (ftpmaster may reject the package for this missing information). Thanks for spotting that, I pushed the fix. Ping. Anyone willing to sponsor this one? Sorry, I lost track of this. I will try to get to this (and your other packages) during the weekend. I clearly didn't do this when promised, and this week I couldn't either. I've been extremely busy. I'm sorry about that. If someone else can look into these packages, please upload them, since I'm not likely to get any debian time anytime soon. I will, if nobody else gets to these packages, still review them as time permits. It seems that this package never got uploaded. It needs its git-dch done and the changelog finalized and then uploaded. I can finalize the changelog if that makes it easier. It seems some people want to do it themselves when uploading. I believe this package needs to be fixed for puredata >= 0.43 As far as I can tell it has already. For me, it builds on Debian/testing using puredata-dev and no puredata, and squeeze using puredata 0.42.6. Indeed, it seems to work. I have a licensing question though. The package is distributed as GPLv3+. However, Supercollider (where some code was borrowed) is GPLv2+. I think debian/copyright should document that fact. Code from 2004 cannot possibly be under GPLv3+ unless relicensed. The GPLv2+ license has that built into it. In the context of this project, the code from SuperCollider is so intermingled, there is no easily recognizable chunk that could be labeled GPLv2+. Since the project is GPLv3+, I think it would be misleading to try to say that a file is available under GPLv2+. If people want the GPLv2+ file, they should go to the original SuperCollider source. Here's the text from the GPL: "Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. " Indeed, I'm not questioning that. My point is that the objective of debian/copyright is documenting, not relicensing, even if it is permissible. From what I've seen, debian/copyright is not finer grained than files. The GPLv2+ code is mixed into two different files that are mostly GPLv3+. So if looking on a per-file basis, all of the files are GPLv3+. .hc Hey Felipe, Any chance of getting this one uploaded in the next week? I'd love to make the Ubuntu/oneiric import deadline. .hc Sorry I'm late. Uploaded. All that matters is that it got done, thanks :) .hc All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated -John Donne ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
Bug#635118: Some clarifications regarding gedit 3.0 plugin changes.
It was brought to my attention, that my bug report was unclear and it is indeed. Apologies for that. What has changed is not only the plugin path but the plugin API also. It is now GI (Gobject Introspection) based, so the plugins need to be updated for gedit 3.0.
