Bug#181969: [mdadams@ece.uvic.ca: Re: JasPer licensing wrt Debian Linux]
I got the following email back from Michael. So with the clarification below that it is not allowed to use the JPEG-2000 part of the code for non-standards based work make it non DFSG free? If so is there anyway to make it DFSG free and still uphold their wishes as stated below?

However, it has been previously[0] determined that JasPer does not meet the DFSG guidelines[1] for free software so cannot be included as is in the main part of Debian. The particular part that the -legal people have a problem with is section F. Is it possible for you to strike this section of the license? Dear Chris: The license has been revised slightly in recent months, but I have not released a new version of the software with this revised license. Clause F reads as follows in the revised version of the license: F. The JPEG-2000 codec implementation included in the JasPer software is for use only in hardware or software products that are compliant with ISO/IEC 15444-1 (i.e., JPEG-2000 Part 1). No license or right to this codec implementation is granted for products that do not comply with ISO/IEC 15444-1. There are two reasons for the above clause: 1) The technology used in the JPEG-2000 standard is covered by patents. The patent holders (for which there are several) are only allowing their patented technology to be used for implementations that are compliant with the standard. For this reason, if anyone uses a hacked non-JPEG-2000-compliant version of JasPer's JPEG-2000 codec in their software, they would be breaking the law. As an extra level of legal protection for the contributors to JasPer, we explicitly disallow ILLEGAL patent-infringing use of the software. [Incidentally, to the best of my knowledge, none of the JasPer contributors hold patents on core JPEG-2000 technologies.] 2) We do not want hacked non-JPEG-2000-compliant versions of JasPer being used, since this would cause major interoperability problems, totally defeating the purpose of having an international image-compression standard in the first place. If your lawyers are worried, they really ought not to be. We (i.e., the JasPer contributors) do not have any secret evil motivations behind Clause F in the JasPer license. This clause is only to prevent ILLEGAL non-interoperable use of the JasPer software. The original wording of Clause F did not make clear that JasPer can be used to build non-JPEG-2000 products. For example, you can remove the JPEG-2000 codec support from JasPer and create a product without JPEG-2000 support without violating the terms of the JasPer license. What this clause does say is: IF YOU USE THE JPEG-2000 CODEC IN JASPER, then you must not introduce changes to the codec that would cause it to be NONCOMPLIANT with the JPEG-2000 standard. If you did this, you would be infringing on at least several patents. With the above said, is the JasPer license really not not good enough for your purposes? I mean, why would KDE want to use JasPer's JPEG-2000 support in order to create a mutant non-interoperable JPEG-2000 clone that infringes on at least several patents?

A notice that the software is subject to patents would be free, but making it a binding part of the license is not, because the license will impact users in jurisdictions (present or future) where the patent itself is invalid, and even precludes using this code in non-compliant implementations that have properly licensed the necessary patents. 2) We do not want hacked non-JPEG-2000-compliant versions of JasPer being used, since this would cause major interoperability problems, totally defeating the purpose of having an international image-compression standard in the first place.

Bug#207495: ITP: smarty -- Template engine for PHP
On Wed, Aug 27, 2003 at 09:49:37PM +0200, Pierre Machard wrote: Hi dim, Hi ! Please can you supply a long description? Here is what I copied from the smarty web site to put on the control file : Smarty is a template engine for PHP. More specifically, it facilitates a manageable way to separate application logic and content from its presentation. . This is best described in a situation where the application programmer and the template designer play different roles, or in most cases are not the same person. For example, let's say you are creating a web page that is displaying a newspaper article. The article headline, tagline, author and body are content elements, they contain no information about how they will be presented. They are passed into Smarty by the application, then the template designer edits the templates and uses a combination of HTML tags and template tags to format the presentation of these elements (HTML tables, background colors, font sizes, style sheets, etc.) One day the programmer needs to change the way the article content is retrieved (a change in application logic.) This change does not affect the template designer, the content will still arrive in the template exactly the same. Likewise, if the template designer wants to completely redesign the templates, this requires no changes to the application logic. Therefore, the programmer can make changes to the application logic without the need to restructure templates, and the template designer can make changes to templates without breaking application logic.

Bug#207624: ITP: tetrinet -- client and server for tetrinet, a networked tetris version
* Alex de Landgraaf [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2003-08-28 13:52]: Would like to note that tetrinetx and gtetrinet are already in Debian. Tetrinetx is the game server voor tetrinet, gtetrinet is the gtk tetrinet client. I'm fully aware of this. Maybe something like tetrinet-ncurses is in order? Considering it, yes. In any way, having two tetrinet servers would probably break something Would break what? Sorry, we have tons of other servers doubled, like apache and roxen; exim, postfix and sendmail; inetd and xinetd; xdm, wdm, gdm and kdm... What shall be different in this very case? Please be a little bit more verbose... (and is redundant), Like the above. Please don't say that if you haven't compared the posibilities of the different things, otherwise your statement is moo. I must confess that I haven't checked the real abilities of tetrinet-server in this package but from what I see currently is that it is very limited. On the other hand, it is included in the upstream source so it would maybe distract the upstream author if he see that it is not included in the binary package. so at least take a look at tetrinetx and contact its maintainer to sync things... Can you sync postfix with exim, please? Sorry, this sounds strange... It is not a spin off of tetrinetx, that's the way things work in the open source/free software community. Different people try their own approach. Only time will tell which will stay and which will pass away. I for myself don't like to judge these things and say: let's kill this off, it looks moo.

* Josselin Mouette [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2003-08-28 13:06]: Le jeu 28/08/2003 à 12:35, Gerfried Fuchs a écrit : About the name of the package: Discussable, but I don't really know what to use else. The package is simply called tetrinet upstream. Why not split into tetrinet-server and tetrinet-client? The server binary has only 16k compared to 61k client binary, and I dislike the idea of the overhead for this small packages. Beside that, I don't think that I will provide an init.d script for it neither, doesn't make much sense IMNSHO. I talked with fabbione a little bit about it, maybe I will leave out the tetrinet-server binary completely, it doesn't offer anything fancy anyway so people who like to have their own server running should rather use tetrinetx. If I leave it out I might consider naming the package tetrinet-client as a whole (for the binary -- I guess I'll stick with tetrinet for the source package). I am wait for a reaction from upstream too currently. I will consider his ideas on the topic, too. So long, and thanks for the input.

Quoting Gerfried Fuchs [EMAIL PROTECTED]: snip Hell, you made me defend that little 16k piece of crap, well done :-) Wow, sorry for getting you all on the defensive :) Just wanted to state that if the server in your package and tetrinetx were the same thing (same source, same author) then it would be redundant. If they aren't the same thing, then by all means package server and client. If we end up with 20 tetrinetservers, then I'll start whining about those 16k, just didn't realise that there actually were different FLOSS tetrinet servers :) /'-'\ ( o o ) oOO0--(_)--0OOo Wouter Alexander de Landgraaf Student AI CS VU Amsterdam Phone: 06-16844084 GPG: http://am.xs4all.nl/key_alex.asc WWW: www.alextreme.org www.morphix.org .oooO ( ) Oooo. --\ (( )-- \_)) / (_/

[...] This is a common desire, but it's irreconcilably non-free. I concur with Steve's analysis. Fair warning, though; Craig Sanders and one or two other people may not, reasoning that because this part of the license claims to apply to patented technology, not software, and as we all know, the Debian Social Contract refers only to software, not patented technology, and since the Debian Free Software Guidelines therefore do not apply, patented technology is perfectly acceptable for inclusion in the Debian GNU/Linux Distribution.
