-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
during my attempt to package xlwt for Debian and coordinating this work with other Debian Python Module Team members, the following problems regarding licensing information for both pyexcelerator and its fork xlwt were discovered: 1. the included antlr.py is outdated and contains a hint to a file LICENSE.txt that is not include in pyexcelerator and xlwt sources we can solve this problem in Debian by removing antlr.py from the source tarball and depending on the recent antlr.py of an existing antlr package in Debian 2. some files (i.e. Bitmap.py) include a copyright of the author of the Perl module Spreadsheet::WriteExcel which is dual licensed under the terms of the Perl Artistic License and the GPL. It is not clear whether this file can be distributed as is. We have no obvious solution for this problem and cannot distribute the package for this reason. We came to the conclusion that the sources of both packages are not redistributable as they are now. Please clarify the license information for these two files and provide new source archives. Regards Jan Dittberner -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAklhMzwACgkQXZJ0m2XDVK+1YwCfXtV35P7+5eKNXAUxAXA6oSb2 UXsAnRGSy2pQzO3FNT3L7mUJUz80Ahfj =QHJ/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Python-modules-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/python-modules-team
