The original Artistic license is not appropriate for licensing anything that is not approximately perl, because of the way it is worded. It is a terrible license. Do not use it.

Why the hell does DFSG #10 specifically mention it then? Historical. The Artistic license is basically only appropriate for perl (and perl modules) because of the way it's written[0], and in *that specific instance* there aren't any problems. (This is on my list of things to fix, probably by replacing it with the Clarified Artistic) > Interestingly the DFSG links to the Artistic licence at > http://www.perl.com/pub/a/language/misc/Artistic.html > whereas http://www.debian.org/intro/free links to it at > http://www.opensource.org/licenses/artistic-license.php Even more interestingly, the latter is not a copy of the Perl Artistic license. I'm not really sure *what* it is, it's somewhere between that and the Clarified. elfsign is using the original, which can be found at /usr/share/common-licenses/Artistic. What are OSI playing at? Who uses this license? > I've already asked upstream to change it from: > > elfsign is property of Uninformed Research and is freely distributable under > the conditions that: > > 1) Modification of the code retains credit to the original author(s) > 2) The authors may not be blamed for any damages incurred from the use of > this software. > > to the Artistic licence, after specifically directing him to > > http://www.debian.org/social_contract > and > http://www.debian.org/intro/free Oops. Best to check with -legal before doing anything with licenses; there's a lot of stuff floating around that's misleading or outdated. > If the official line isn't what's on the website, we really should get it > fixed up. Yeah, these things take a painful amount of time, were backed up *years* by the voting system changes, and there have been higher priorities. I do plan on pressing for a DFSG revision this year, though. [0] Clauses like this crap: You may embed this Package's interpreter within an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as a mere form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard Version of the interpreter is so embedded. We *need* that clause, but this "interpreter" stuff doesn't make any sense for elfsign - it was written for perl. There are several more like this. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- | signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#237716: Cryptsetup + Debian
What is the status of this ITP? If no one else is going to do it, I would really like to do this. It seems to me that this package needs a lot of scripting glue to setup devices prior to mountall.sh. Also, it needs integration with mkinitrd for rootfs crypto. Furthermore, care has to be taken not to depend on libraries in /usr/lib. I have already talked to the dmsetup maintainer so that dmsetup is now in /sbin where it can be used in mounting /usr. I have most of the rest working on my own machines. If either of you is going to package this, I would like to help out so that these things are handled right. Otherwise, I would like to upload my own package. If I don't hear back in a week or so, I will assume that this ITP has timed out, and upload my own package... -- Wesley W. Terpstra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I'd describe it in it's own right, as people who are familiar with the Windows game of the same name will recognise it, and others will want to know what it is independently. "Hearts is a trick-taking, point-accumulating card game for four players, where certain cards have a points value. The object of the game is to obtain the fewest points. Hearts has beta support for network play, to allow multiple humans to play against other. You can also play against computer opponents to make up the numbers." - Matt
