Wouldn't it be nice to split up non-free in, say, a non-free and a
non-dist directory?  Then you could put in non-free all packages that
have restrictions but could be distributed with debian releases, and in
non-dist you would put packages that cannot be distributed with debian
releases.  Then the package maintainers can decide where a package
belongs, and CD-pressers don't need to check out each package in
non-free themselves.

Good. That means things haven't changed since I first viewed the readme
files and switched to Debian. I (and probably many of us) have likely used
restricted software unwittingly in our work and thus violated the terms
and conditions of usage. I noticed early on that whenever someone thought
a Debian package should be moved to/from non-free it was discussed in this
list. Another reason Debian is the best Linux. Correct me if I'm wrong,
but isn't the free SCO limited to personal use? I check the restrictions
on anything in non-free before I use it. I don't want my equipment
confiscated - something that could really happen to the business that runs
on unlicensed software.

They are. If they aren't in the dwww menu, they should be. I really
mentioned LDP as an example. I mirror it because the maintainer made it
clear I may do so and provided a username/password for the master ftp
site.

I will look again. I can't seem to find the ones that are OK to put up for
anonymous ftp at multiple mirrors, but can't be placed on other media for
free. Some of the mirror sites are commercial organizations, so any
license that is restricted to educational and non-profit organizations is
violated by that.

If you read the Netscape license, you will see that all you have to do is
start a 'religious organization' and you can provide it to your 'members'.
I think that rather than start a phony church or school, it is better to
try to follow the intentions of the author. I am willing to actually lose
money because some people were very concerned that Infomagic, Walnut Creek 
CD-ROM and others would get rich from the work of the poor. They have a
valid point, especially when it comes to CD-ROM's included with magazines
and books. Many of the publications are a total waste of paper. The 'free'
software makes it sell and the authors want a small royalty for that.

I suppose that if there really was a big problem here, there wouldn't be
any complete mirrors of ftp.debian.org because you would need a lawyer to
configure your mirror software. If that's the case, it would be better to
delete anything from non-free that can't be freely mirrored now. Nobody
wants to provide a mirror with such complications and nobody wants to use
a partial mirror for upgrades/installs. Try advising mirror sites to check
all the copyrights before mirroring and debian.org will need a T-3 because
there won't be anymore mirrors.

No.

There are a variety of licenses - GPL, BSD, Artistic, and roll-your-own.
However, they all meet our standards for free software, to the best of our
knowledge, so they should not be a problem for your commercial operations
and for sales.

I don't know the LDP's licensing policy, but I think the HOWTOS and stuff
are in a Debian package.

Be very careful here. You have made the common blunder when thinking about
non-free. It has absolutely nothing to do with money! The fact that you
are not intending to sell the CD does not mean that you are not liable for
infringing a copyright. The reason these packages are in this directory is
because they have distribution restrictions. These restrictions may
include media restrictions, distribution with other types of software
restrictions, etc... In fact the most dangerous packages in non-free are
the ones without any copyright notice at all. Under copyright law these
packages are assumed to have THE most restrictive copyright possible,
and unless you have the expressed permission of the author you may be open
to suit for copyright infringement if you include them on your "cost free"
CD.

I understand that you can't make guarantees and put SPI in a position of
potential liability. Is there anything excluded from bo or contrib on the
Official Debian CD? Someone could pop up and claim that UNC, MIT, Georgia
Tech, Debian, and Greenbush owe royalties plus damages for each copy we
have given away. I try to read everything I can about the contents. I even
have read about installing on machines I don't have (alpha, etc.) in case
someone asks about them.

Is everything in main and contrib under GPL? I hope so, because I use a
lot of it for my (commercial) operations. I have included an advisory on
the CD to check usage and redistribution restrictions on anything from
non-free.

I have avoided using some packages in my own business. The license said it
was basically free for personal use, but didn't give any prices, email
address, or website for commercial use. I decided it was easier to use an
alternative package than to write and mail a letter.

I suppose I could include commercial demos, but I think people would
rather have the disk filled out with stuff from hamm and 2.1.x kernel
source.

Although I provide a free LDP mirror at wtop.com, I haven't included it on
CD because I am not sure if I can.

I'd suggest you read the licenses in there really carefully. We don't

Re: Is there a Debian 1.3 "Unleashed" available?

1997-06-17 Thread Paul Wade

Re: Book

I don't think there is enough demand to warrant publishing a Debian book
on paper yet. If such a document existed on other media, I (and quite a
few others) wouldn't mind using some supplies to print out, punch, and
bind a copy. I prefer documentation that can be updated by easily 
replacing pages in a binder. Paperbacks are OK for Windows 95 because it
doesn't get the (needed) changes very often. I think the book project
people should make sure that everything can be easily printed on paper
that will be punched and include the necessary programs/scripts to print
it. You should be able to easily print pages or sections and toc/index as
needed. The Debian organization should sell really cool looking binders to
raise money. I want the first one for suggesting it. I also want a Debian
mug to drink coffee from while I read from my official Debian binder.

Re: stupid non-free restrictions

Is there anything in non-free that can't be given away? If you buy a CD-R
from me, I can put the non-free software on it. Why? Because I will put it
on a CD-R that you don't buy from me at no charge. The CD-ROM vendors
can't do that with their media. Of course, I expect a postpaid,
preaddressed mailer with the blank CD-R, but I don't charge for labor,
electricity and machine usage. If there is anything in non-free that can't
be copied onto media at no charge, then it probably should be in a new
directory called do_not_mirror at the ftp site.

BTW - If I ever make enough money, I will press a bunch of CD-ROM's full
of stuff with these 'you can't even make $1/hour' restrictions and just
give them out.

I have a copy of the Offical CD for 1.3.0.  It includes everything on
master for 1.3.0 in main and contrib, but not non-free.  non-free is
called non-free because the packages in there have restrictions on
distribution via CD etc.

The Official CD for 1.3.1 will be the same way.  The Official CD is
made with the debian-cd package that simply creates 2 CDs (binary and
source) from a mirror of master.  It leaves out non-free.

Good Luck,

They will include the main distribution and "contrib", but not "non-free".
The disc is meant for anyone to duplicate and sell, and the licenses of the
programs in non-free would not work for that.

Actually there are quite a few packages in non-free that are ok for
distribution. I include about 20 on the CD that I distribute. Many of the
restrictions that make a package non-free (such as "can't be distributed
with proprietary software) don't apply to a CD distribution of the "free"
portion of the Debian distribution. Care must be taken, but once it is
determined to be ok for CD it is certainly safe for the end user.

Is there a Debian 1.3 "Unleashed" available?

Anyone know if there is a "Linux Unleashed" book/CD available for Debian 1.3?  
I'm trying to find a place to get a CD at a decent price, but so far the really 
cheap places(CheapBytes, Tri-Linux) seem to have problems with their cut.  I
am now considering PHT or InfoMagic, but if I can get a book AND CD for about 
the same price or a little more then I'll do that.

Anyone got recommendations?

I have yet to see any books on the market that do more than mention
Debian.  That is why I am working on the Debian Book Project.  I am still
in the begining stages now but I am hoping early next year .. or arround
the Debian 2.0 release to have the book published.

I have had offers from at least 4 peole as well that want to convert it
into other languages.  (5 total right now)

You can get more on the DBP at http://dabcc-www.nmsu.edu/~chad/Debian/
