cryptsetup-luks 1.0.4 is out/GPL3 poll

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi folks, 

another new release with a few minor refinements of
cryptsetup-luks. ChangeLog see below.

A public svn repos is now at:
http://luks.endorphin.org/svn/cryptsetup/

GPL3: I would like to change the cryptsetup-luks license to GPL3
including the anti-DRM provisioning. I share the worries of FSF that
DRM is harmful to the free software movement and the users' freedom in
general. I do not share the views of a small influencal group of Linux
kernel developers that recently published their no-GPL3
statement. Therefore, it is even more important (to me) to limit Linux
encryption technology for DRM use at user space.

Before I start to dissect the legal situation of cryptsetup-luks, I
would like to receive a thumbs-up/no-go from recent contributors for
this intended license change to GPL3 (no in-depth GPL3 discussion
intended, as the license isn't finished at all).


1.0.4 changes:
* lib/setup.c: Added terminal timeout rewrite as forwarded by Jonas Meurer
* Merged patch from Marc Merlin <marc@xxxxxxxxxxx> to allow user selection of key slot.
* new gettext-alization
* lib/setup.c (get_key): Applied patch from David Härdeman
<david@xxxxxxxx> for reading binary keys from stdin using the "-" as key file.
* Applied patches from David Härdeman <david@xxxxxxxx> to fix 64 bit compiler warning issues.
* src/cryptsetup.c (yesDialog): Fix getline problem for 64-bit archs.
