Summary: Review Request: arpack - Fortran77 subroutines for solving large scale eigenvalue problems https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=214967 pertusus@xxxxxxx changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |pertusus@xxxxxxx ------- Additional Comments From pertusus@xxxxxxx 2006-11-10 06:30 EST ------- I fear this is not possible to include in fedora due to the licensing. As a first remark it is not BSD-like, since there is this clause (which is acceptable): * If you modify the source for these routines we ask that you change the name of the routine and comment the changes made to the original. And then there is those clauses which seem to be unacceptable to me: * Written notification is provided to the developers of intent to use this software. This is a restriction on use which seems to strong to me for that software to be OSI-compliant. * Also, we ask that use of ARPACK is properly cited in any resulting publications or software documentation. Depending on what exactly 'ask' means (is it an option, or is it an obligation?) it may also be a restriction on use which is too strong to reach OSI-compliance. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
