Sounds reasonable.

Thanks!

I feel even if php-oci8 will never get shipped with Debian, using the
shared git reposity at Alioth is useful.

Are you OK with me pushing it straight into
ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-php//php-oci8.git ?  Could user joostvb @ alioth
get added to group pkg-php?  (I've send a request via
https://alioth.debian.org/project/request.php?group_id=30320 .  I've created
attached trivial patch and would like to push it.  Or maybe you have time to
push it?

OK.

So do I, at work.

Fair enough.

It was rejected because the buildep is not in the archive.

Will do.

Good.

I don't plan to work on this package soon. I currently use those
packages but I won't help Oracle installations if Oracle is not
helping (by changing the terms).

Bug#774765: license conditions for Oracle's Instant Client libraries (was: Re: Bug#774765: ITP: php-oci8 -- Extension for Oracle Database)

Maybe

> Are they non-free?

Yes, see
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/licenses/instant-client-lic-152016.html for
license conditions on e.g. oracle-instantclient12.1-basic which ships
/usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64/lib/libclntsh.so.12.1 .  php-oci8 depends upon
Oracle's Instant Client libraries.

It has conditions like "you do not charge your end users for use of the
Programs" and "prohibit the reverse engineering (unless required by law for
interoperability), disassembly or decompilation of the Programs".  So clearly
non-free.

>  What is the license of the combined work?

Good question :)

Joost

Hi Mathieu e.a.,

What's the status of this bug?  Did it get rejected by the ftpmasters?
(Seems yes, since I can no longer find php-oci8 in
https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html .)

Why did it get rejected?  Could the reject message maybe get send to this
bugreport?

In other news: I plan to add PDO-support to php-oci8, so that it ships both
/usr/lib/php5/20131226/oci8.so and /usr/lib/php5/20131226/pdo_oci8.so .

Bye,

Joost

Very good.  I had a look at the debian/copyright files using debmake and
license-reconcile, and both reported no serious issue with it.  So that
part should be solid enough.

Could there be a license issue with some Oracle libraries?  Are they
non-free?  What is the license of the combined work?

> Ask this to the ftpteam ...

Right.  Sound a bit like the situation we had with zfs.  I do not have
much direct contact with the ftpmasters team, but will see what I can
do. :)
