Re: InVesalius new version and copyright
Hi Thiago, On Mon, Apr 01, 2013 at 03:10:18PM -0300, Thiago Franco de Moraes wrote: We released a new InVesalius version some days ago. I committed the changes related to packaging this new version. The only question blocking me to submit this new version is a issue about copyright. As I've said in my last email to Debian Med, we are using some preset files from OsiriX. OsiriX is a LGPL-3 [1], and its copyright is 2003-2010 (c) Antoine Rosset. As far as I can see, the preset files have the same license and copyright. I sent an email to OsiriX to ensure those informations, but they didn't answered me. My question to you is: What do I do in this case? As far as I can obtain from this information we need to assume that the preset files are released under the same lincense as the software itself. This is under the assumption that the preset files can be downloaded inside the same archive as the complete software. It is usual to assume that everything in one tarball follows the main license statement except some explicite exception is given. The debian/copyright files are following the same logic when specifying Files: * and mentioning single Files: exceptions later. I did not inspected such a preset file as you are mentioning but simply guessing from the name it looks like configuration and I do not think that such files are some specific copyright property compared to the remaining code - so I guess we are safe here. Simply mention the files in debian/copyright with an explicite Comment to make ftpmasters aware of this - they have the final say anyway.

I Found another software (it seems to be open source) which use these files: http://www.atamai.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/MacOSX/Epilepsia/CLUTs/?logsort=cvshideattic=0sortby=filesortdir=downpathrev=HEAD Simply mention the files in debian/copyright with an explicite Comment to make ftpmasters aware of this - they have the final say anyway. Done. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de I took the opportunity and I updated the InVesalius homepage in debian/control and debian/invesalius-3.0.1. Yes, InVesalius have a new homepage[1] now. Ah, I added a new patch to make invesalius opens the sample file inside the /usr/share/doc/invesalius-examples/examples/ since the sample file is not inside the source code folder. I think it's a good idea. I checked the package and it seems to be lintian free. Thanks! [1] - http://www.cti.gov.br/invesalius/
