GNUstep has been moved back to GPLv2+ so those licensing issues should be taken care of.
I will contact Andrew and see what can be done about this. Thank you for pointing this out. Later, GC Gregory Casamento -- Principal Consultant - OLC, Inc # GNUstep Chief Maintainer ----- Original Message ---- From: Hubert Chathi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 1:51:51 PM Subject: more licensing issues :( Debian Bug #487143 [1] was filed against gnustep-gui, which points out that some of the included images are licensed in a way that prevents modification, and also prevents use for anything other than developing free OpenStep applications. [1] http://bugs.debian.org/487143 This presents a problem since Debian requires that everything in the distribution, including images, sounds, data files, documentation, be freely modifiable, and so this could result in GNUstep being removed from Debian. I should note that this license only applies to certain images: namely the images used for drawing various GUI controls such as checkboxes, etc. Is it possible to get these images relicensed? Thanks Hubert P.S. The link listed in the license: http://www.gnustep.org/UserSuite/UserSuite.html doesn't work. P.P.S. There are additional reasons that I believe that the current license is unreasonable. If anyone is interested, ask me. _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
