Enquanto isso, no Equador...  (veja e-mail da equinux abaixo)

Já que o governo deles libera a especificação dos formatos de arquivo,
ainda que ofereça um programa apenas para MS-Windows, eles vão e
implementam o deles, livre.

Lindo, né?


Falar em licença, sabe o que descobri hoje no programa IRPF2007 versão
Java, enquanto preparava as fotos no topo da minha home page (URL na
assinatura)?  Diversas licenças de Software Livre, algumas bem escondidas!

% unzip -q irpf2007v1.0.zip -d irpf2007
% cd irpf2007
% unzip -q IRPF.jar -d IRPF 
replace IRPF/build.properties? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: A
% cd IRPF
% cat license.txt

Legal, né?  Bem que gostam que respeitem as liberdades deles, mas nada
de respeitar as nossas :-(

Pelo menos não estão violando nenhuma dessas licenças.

Agora...

                  GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
                       Version 2.1, February 1999
[...]
  4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange.
[...]
  6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications.

  You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
this License.  You must supply a copy of this License.  If the work
during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
directing the user to the copy of this License.  Also, you must do one
of these things:

    a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
    machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
    changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
    Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
    with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
    uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
    user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
    Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
    to use the modified definitions.)

    b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
    Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
    copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
    rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
    will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
    the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
    interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.

    c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
    least three years, to give the same user the materials
    specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
    than the cost of performing this distribution.

    d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
    from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
    specified materials from the same place.

    e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
    materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.

Hmm...  Interessante...  Não vejo o código fonte sob a LGPL em lugar
nenhum.  Será que a SRF está nos fazendo o favor de violar a LGPL?

Alguém aí tem a manha de identificar qual o componente LGPL que a SRF
tá usando no IRPF2007?

Hace un buen tiempo lancé la propuesta de hacer un reemplazo para el DIMM
que provee el SRI para la declaración de impuestos, he creado un proyecto
dentro del repositorio de código de google, pueden acceder en esta
dirección:

http://code.google.com/p/gdimm/

Por lo pronto pueden revisar el código que está colgado (usando subversion)
y si pueden ayudar con la especificación de trabajo que se puede colgar en
el wiki, si alguien está dispuesto a dedicarle algo de tiempo (libre).  Por
lo pronto están generadas algunas pantallas, integrado el código básico para
poder generar cualquier ventana con sus eventos básicos a partir del archivo
glade, traté de organizarlo de tal manera que sea fácil de entender y de
implementar.   Está terminada la parte de gestión de contribuyentes también,
para mantener compatibilidad utilizo el mismo esquema del DIMM y lo almaceno
en un archivo XML, de manera que si copiamos el archivo de la versión de
windows igual se lo puede usar.

Si alguien está interesado nos ponemos en contacto para agregarlo al
proyecto y que pueda contribuir.
