Re: [VOTE] release VCL 2.1
I gathered the license information for the Perl modules downloaded and installed by install_perl_libs.pl and added this information to README. Two of the modules use LGPL. The others use the Artistic License or GPL. It would be great if someone could go through them and double check. There was one module (Digest-HMAC) which I couldn't find the license for. The Digest-HMAC module was a dependency for the Authen-SASL 2.12 module. The Digest-HMAC module no longer appears to be a dependency for Authen-SASL 2.13. I updated the Authen-SASL URL to fetch version 2.13 and removed Digest-HMAC from install_perl_libs.pl and README. I added code to install_perl_libs.pl which requires the user to enter 'YES' the script will install and download the modules. The following is displayed: = *** NOTICE *** This script will download and install Perl modules distributed under the following licenses: - The Artistic License - GNU General Public License (GPL) - GNU Library or Lesser General Public License (LGPL) See the README file for more information. = Type YES to proceed, type NO to abort: Regarding the Microsoft artifacts, the instructions direct the person installing the management node to the URL of the page where the supplemental utilities can be obtained. These are not direct download links. Can the responsibility to read the license terms provided by the 3rd party be left to the person downloading the files? Thanks, Andy Andy Kurth wrote: I will look up the licenses of the modules the install_perl_libs.pl script downloads/installs and include a disclaimer when the script is executed. I will add the license information to the list of prerequisites in README.
