I've resent a mail today hoping for an answer this time. In the mean time, I have also got some feedback from lawyers that are the following: It appears that the relevant portion of the afio license is this: License notice 1, covering part of this software package. ... (1) It may not be sold at a profit. ... This software may be distributed with other software by a commercial vendor, provided that it is included at no additional charge. ... [Note: it is believed that condition 5 of the Perl "Artistic License" implies the intent of restriction (1) above.] For comparison, section 5 of Artistic License 1.0: 5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package as a product of your own. You may embed this Package's interpreter within an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as a mere form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard Version of the interpreter is so embedded. There seems to be an obvious challenge: If distribution of code under the Artistic License 1.0 is OK, then what is the characteristic of the License for afio that takes it outside of Red Hat's policy ? -- 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
