Copyright (C) 1999-2001 Brian Paul All Rights Reserved. (Some have fewer years; that's the union of the years.) One of these (opencloseopen.c) is additionally * (C) Copyright IBM Corporation 2003 All of these files have the license: ------------------------------- * Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a * copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), * to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation * the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, * and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the * Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: * * The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included * in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. * * THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS * OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, * FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

The above needs to be documented in the debian/copyright file. A few files (glxpbdemo.c, pbdemo.c, pbutil.c, pbutil.h) are by Brian Paul and have no explicit license (contact him; I'm sure he'll either license them along with the other files, or put them in the public domain.) descrip.mms (only used under VMS) has no license and is "contributed by Jouk Jansen [EMAIL PROTECTED]" yuvrect.h has no license and is "Dave Airlie - Feb 2005". Makefile and xuserrotfont.h have no copyright statement, authorship statement, or license. These files are technically undistributable until licenses are obtained. I am sure that this was not the intention of the authors, and I suspect that a little research would identify the origins of these files and might indicate the correct licenses. Unfortunately, the debian/copyright file says: ---------- Copyright 1989,1998 The Open Group Permission to use, copy, modify, distribute, and sell this software and its documentation for any purpose is hereby granted without fee, provided that the above copyright notice appear in all copies and that both that copyright notice and this permission notice appear in supporting documentation.

I suppose it might possibly be true of the files without licenses, but with the Brian Paul files, either this is wrong or the actual files are wrong, and I'm inclined to believe the actual files. So the debian/copyright file is apparently just totally wrong. Please replace it with something more accurate. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
