Hello. Navigating in the xchat site (debian package xchat), I found in http://www.xchat.org/windows/ these sentences:
> Q. Has the license for X-Chat changed? > A. The Windows version is shareware, however, you may still > download the source code, released under the G.P.L. > You may use X-Chat for Windows for free for 30 days. If, > after this time, you would like to continue using the product, > you are required to register. Registration is a one time fee > of $20 USD (United States Dollars) or $25 AUD (Australian > Dollars). You may pay using the Paymate service below, which > accepts credit cards in both currencies. Note: source is GPL, but for windoze binaries it is *required* a registration. So I propose to the debian maintainer, not to send patch to upstream, without an explicit declaration that the patches are licensed GPL-only and thus not available in non GPL code. legal team: do you think it is good such requirement? What do you think about such mix free/shareware in debian? [note that I don't think all patch authors relicensed the code] ciao cate
