Hello,
in the past we have removed itext and pdftk which depends on itext from
the Fedora distribution due
license issue.
In the new iText package itext-2.0.4 I have found a text file about the
licensing situation of the
source file coming from Sun Corporation Inc.
I have uploaded this file for review on
http://www.herr-schmitt.de/pub/itext/sun.txt
I want to know, it this ok for Fedora. But I assume, that the last term
about usage this
file for nuclear weapons may be a blocker.
This looks like the revised BSD license with a use restriction that
makes it non-free.
Its not a use restriction, it reads:
"You acknowledge that Software is not designed,licensed or intended for use in
the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear facility."
Oh darn it is a use restriction, notice the not licensed, I thought it was just
a warning (which it would be if you remove the work licensed from the sentence).
So again ask Sun for a waiver, in this case just removing the work "licensed"
from this sentence will do.
Regards,
Hans
