Hello, I would like to package a set of programs, that are linked against a propritary library. The author has signed a NDA in order to develop the library (see below) and is not allowed to publish the source. Though, he placed the frontend tools unto GPL, and is willing to change the license to another free one when needed. Any ideas which license is suitable for Debian in this case? The package won't go into main, of course, but it may be placed in non-free when the license is clear.
epsUtils -------- The GPL apply wit the following ammendment. Due to DNA I donīt have the right to publish the control sequences used by this package. You donīt have the right to make reverse enginnering in order to retrieve the control sequences send to the printer through the library rwLib.a You may use the rwLib.a library for own programs and distribute them, but in all case you have to distribute also the original package epsUtils without change in the code and file content and tell explicitelly that you use this component. The following must appear: =============================================================== This program use rwLib.a Author: Jean-Jacques Sarton Home Site: http://home.t-online.de/home/jj.sarton/index.html Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] =============================================================== --------------------------------------------------------------------------- GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 [...] Gr{us,eeting}s, Eduard. -- ==================================================================== Eduard Bloch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; HP: http://eduard.bloch.com/edecosi 0xEDF008C5(GnuPG): E6EB 98E2 B885 8FF0 6C04 5C1D E106 481E EDF0 08C5 ** No, really: Outlook Express is an excellent newsreader.
