Apparently, the upstream authors read them and removed the statement from their pages. Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy http://charles.plessy.org Wako, Saitama, Japan

The C4.5 classifier is released under a completely different and restrictive license: "This software may not be distributed in any form without permission of the copyright holder." Things like this always make me nervous. I'd check every file for an apropriate copyright notice! Bye, Alain signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil

I think it is a) incompatible with the GPL, and as it links with at least Qt, this makes Orange indistributable. b) senseless, because if Orange is used in a scientific publication they have to be mentioned anyways - maybe not with this exact paper, but I am confident everybody uses that exact paper if they do not oblige the users, but ask them to use this paper - not another. This of course does not help with other publications like magazins and such. Bye, Alain signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil
Bug#410016: ITP: Orange-data-mining -- Component-based data mining software
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Charles Plessy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Package name: Orange-data-mining Version : 2007-02-06 Upstream Author : Janez Demsar and Blaz Zupan (see also http://www.ailab.si/orange/acknowledgements.htm) URL : http://www.ailab.si/orange License : GPL Description : Component-based data mining software orange-data-mining-common: Orange is a component-based data mining software. It includes a range of preprocessing, modelling and data exploration techniques. It is based on C++ components, that are accessed either directly (not very common), through Python scripts (easier and better), or through GUI objects called Orange Widgets. . Homepage: http://www.ailab.si/orange orange-data-mining-widgets: Orange's visual programming interface is based on GUI components called Orange Widgets, and a signalling framework that uses communication channels to connect widgets and tokens to pass the data from one widget to another. Although this sounds very scientific, working with widgets in the Orange Canvas is simple as point-and-click. . Homepage: http://www.ailab.si/orange orange-data-mining-genomics: Orange offers an intuitive means of combining known analysis and visualization methods into powerful applications. The system presented here enables users who are not programmers to manage microarray and genomic data flow and to customize their analysis by combining common data analysis tools to fit their needs. . Homepage: http://www.ailab.si/supp/bi-visprog Orange will be co-maintained by Cyril Brulebois and me. Orange is released under the GPL with an additional restriction, which in my understanding makes it incompatible with GPL works and the DFSG. I am very confident that this is only a wording problem and will contact the authors to ask them if they can rephrase their statement. "Orange is released under General Public License (GPL) and as such is free if you use it under these terms. We do, however, oblige the users to cite the following white paper together with any other work that accompanied Orange any time you use Orange in your publications: Demsar J, Zupan B, Leban G (2004) Orange: From Experimental Machine Learning to Interactive Data Mining, White Paper (www.ailab.si/orange), Faculty of Computer and Information Science, University of Ljubljana." -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-486 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
