Re: Re: Legal question about a model
Hi, The software is totally under GPL but ships with a graphical head-model that is confined to the use with tempo itself. (And this model is needed) Is there any other possibility than bringing it into non-free? Convince them to place the model under a GPL-compatible free software licence. That's not so easy. The author (or better his university) has licensed this model for the purpose of this program. So I'd had to either convince the company it was licensed from (which wants to make money with such models) or the university to pay more so this model can than be included in debian which I think is not very realistic. I take the answer than as a complete No. Regards, Roland -- Roland Marcus Rutschmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] gpg-key: http://neuro.psychologie.uni-oldenburg.de/~rutschmann/ich/ pgpN3ZbgoENnr.pgp Description: signature

Hope that some day a free model comes along.
Legal question about a model
Hi, I found a new very promissing software for graphical mapping of EEG at http://tempo.sourceforge.net/ I contacted the author and filed an ITP. Preliminary debian packages at: http://neuro.psychologie.uni-oldenburg.de/debian/dists/unstable/main/ Unfortunatly there is a DFSG problem: The software is totally under GPL but ships with a graphical head-model that is confined to the use with tempo itself. (And this model is needed) Is there any other possibility than bringing it into non-free? I think this is like an icon that must only use with the original program or how is the legal view on this.
