Hello, I'm writing to you because I was adding the KRB5 implementation patch to JtR, and you're listed as the author in src/KRB5_fmt.c (the copyright holder is not a "human", but I believe you could have contacts there). However, to be able to include the patch in Debian, we need a free license. Currently, you're not granting any right:
/* * KRB5_fmt.c * * Kerberos 5 module for John the Ripper by Solar Designer, based on the * KRB4 module by Dug Song. * * Author: Nasko Oskov <nasko at netsekure.org> * * Licensing: * * The module contains code derived or copied from the Heimdal project. * * Copyright (c) 1997-2000 Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan * (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden). * All rights reserved. * * Which is distribution of Kerberos based on M.I.T. implementation. * * Copyright (C) 1990 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology * */ If you wish the patch to be added to the official Debian package, please consider licensing the code under a DFSG-free license, such as GPL, BSD or MIT/X11 (there are many others, though). As far as I can see from http://www.h5l.org/ , the latest Heimdal releases are released under BSD-3. Another option would then be rewriting the "plugin" basing from a BSD-3-licensed version of Heimdal. Kindly, David Paleino -- . ''`.
