Even though he isn't stating copyright, he isn't explicitly disclaiming it either, and in the US, you automatically gain copyright on a work that you create. Can you ask David Schwartz to make the following statement: 2009.08.06: I hereby place all of my code in the shmpps package (in particular, shmpps.tar, with MD5 checksum [[INSERT_CHECKSUM]]) into the public domain. I disclaim all copyright on my code. Portions taken from the NTP source (the time_shm structure and attach_shm code) are still covered by the NTP copyright/license. That would make it much clearer. He can do it via email, although, it would be better if he did so on the project webpage. Alternately, if he doesn't want to do so, he could simply use the MIT license, as that is extremely permissive and already compatible with the NTP code. As to the labeling of the License tag, you could either list it as you have done (which is correct), or simply use the MIT license (because those are the only terms you have to comply with). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
