Hint, hint.... If anyone does want to publicly re-distribute the F19 image, before making it available, and I think the person who I am directing this at will know who he is. (And of course, anyone doing so should really be obtaining thier own legal advice. Which is something that I didn't do, but should have done on day 1.) Contact Erland first and ask him if it is OK to "borrow" clauses 5 and 6 from the ickStream NDA agreement. (Which you already have, because I know you are a BETA tester.) Hypothetically speaking, you take a CSOS image, mount the root partition, on a Linux box. Add a LICENSE.txt to /etc. Contents..... Use of this software is subject to the following conditions. 1. For non-commercial use ONLY! Commercial use prohibited! 2. ickStream NDA Clause 5: Warranty. None, express or implied.... 3. ickStream NDA Clause 6: Limitation of liability. You should also add something about which legal juristiction is applicable, but that would depend on who is doing this and where in the world they are. Now unmount and dd that image back to a file. Bonus points, (on covering your arse), if on the web hosting side, if you make someone who wants to download the image, accept the license before giving them access to the file. (Which you really should do!) I do have a license which was drawn-up to be used with the F20 images. However, posting it is probably going to lead to more questions than it answers. It is long-winded, and doesn't really add anything to the above. But it really is rather long-winded, due to what was intended to happen with the dual licensing of squeezelite under a license other than GPL, still free to use, but locking down the distribution, forcing another name to be used by anyone making modifications to the image or wanting to swap the CS licensed version for the GPL'd version, and isn't really usable (enforceable) unless there is a legal entity, (ie. business), distributing the software, (still free for personal, non-commercial use), rather than being distributed by a private individual. The repo.... Despite my best efforts at trying to call in favours and even begging..... The only way I can get the repo hosted is by signing a contract with a commercial provider, which a) effectively indemnifies them from any content put up there by me, (as a private individual), somewhere where I don't want to go again..... and b) tied to a multi-month contract, which I don't want to be...... So sorry...... I've think I've done enough! ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
