I may miss some run-time cases (I don't currently use Bacula), but hopefully the input is useful to Kern and to Debian. That would be awesome. Yes, if you post patches somewhere that Kern and I can see them, that'd be great. Thanks much for investigating. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Copyright verification needed
Hello, I'm preparing an ITP (Intend To Package) as a newbie regarding Debian packaging. About the source (for the ITP) I'm not the developer and simply reproduced the copyright I found with source code. Could you please check the attached copyright file and its respect to Debian rules about license / copyright ? The template of the file was created by dh_make tools and I manually completed needed fields. Note : the mentionned URL for download is not currently updated as I wait to open the ITP to proceed with it. Many thanks.

It appears to be a standard 3-clause BSD license, which is fine, however it also claims to link with OpenSSL and some stuff from Trolltech. OpenSSL is fine, however it is GPL incompatible, so if this software is a library, you have to be careful. The stuff from Trolltech is another matter though - they use the GPL and the QPL I believe. If you use it under the GPL, then it can't link to OpenSSL, and I believe the QPL is widely considered non-free. -- Andrew Donnellan ajdlinuxATgmailDOTcom (primary)ajdlinuxATexemailDOTcomDOTau (secure) http://andrewdonnellan.comhttp://ajdlinux.wordpress.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]hkp://subkeys.pgp.net 0x5D4C0C58 http://linux.org.auhttp://debian.org Spammers only === [EMAIL PROTECTED] === -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Yeesh. The distinction above is clearly being made for sarcastic purpose. I still don't understand it, though. Can you please, as DPL, explain what point is being made here? Outside the context of this discussion about trademarks. What do *you*, as DPL, think debian-legal should be, and how is it currently different to that ideal? -- \ I have the simplest tastes.
