Re: [slim] Licenses Agrrement for SqueezeBox-Server
I'm quite happy now, there are no ressources from SBS in my images. The users have to download and install SBS by theirselfs. A script does it all automatically, the user has only read and agree to the license-agreement. The advatage is, that users can choose the SBS version to be installed by theirselfs.

Re: [slim] Licenses Agrrement for SqueezeBox-Server
Quite simple, ship only the firmware .version files and the .bin files will be automatically downloaded on first start. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76579 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Licenses Agrrement for SqueezeBox-Server
thanks for the replies. A pitty no official is reacting. The question was more about the evaluation of all available options. I'm too lazy to build a live image or distribution.

Re: [slim] Licenses Agrrement for SqueezeBox-Server
If you want to use the standard SBS software, I'd do as Michael suggests, just download it automatically from Logitech at installation or first startup. However, if you want to customize it you have two options: 1. Contact Logitech to get permissions OR 2. If you are only supporting OSX/Linux, download the standard software automatically as described above and apply a patch with your customizations afterwards. Unfortunately option 2 won't work on Windows if you like to patch the perl code since it's compiled to a executable which can't easily be patched. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76579 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

FWIW: neither FreeNAS nor SlimNAS include the server code. SlimNAS only provides the infrastructure to easily download/install/run SBS on FreeNAS. I did include the server code in good ol' SlimCD. But that was probably illegal (but nobody cared anyway), and a major pain for me to keep up to date. I clearly wouldn't recommend it. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Licenses Agrrement for SqueezeBox-Server
There is also the requirement to obtain written permission to redistribute "logos, graphics, animations, and documentation". I don't recall anyone who has done this and described the process in the forums. I imagine it was pretty easy in the pre-Logitech days. No idea how it is now or to whom, specifically, you should submit such a request. -- Mark Miksis Mark Miksis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=529 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76579 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Licenses Agrrement for SqueezeBox-Server
IIRC most of the distribution have asked the same questions and the main issue is no firmware in the distribution - all necessary firmware is downloaded automatically. I think you also have to distribute the source code so a compiled version as in the Windows distro is not allowed. If changes are made to the source code - you will have to follow source code licensing. There are other licensing issues about other binaries from 3rd parties such as faad which need to be examined. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76579 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Licenses Agrrement for SqueezeBox-Server
Doesn't SBS automatically download missing firmware? There are plenty of distributions that include the server, e.g. FreeNAS, vortexbox, don't know but they might have cared about the license. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76579 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Licenses Agrrement for SqueezeBox-Server
*bump* the license agreement http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/slim/7.4/tags/7.4.2/server/License.txt states Code: Squeezebox firmare may not be redistributed under any circumstances. It is (c) Slim Devices, and additonally contains code which is (c) Ubicom. Ubicom's code is licenced to us only for direct distribution in binary form. You may use the firmware only on hardware manufactured by Slim Devices. I think this is about the files in http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/slim/7.4/tags/7.4.2/server/Firmware/ (so all "older" SB-Devices). So the question is, if it is allowed to: * make a custom SB-Server Package (or system image) including the Firmware. Downloadable free of charge, maybe integrated in a repository (apt, yum) * make a package without the firmware, but automaticly download and install the firmware from svn.slimdevices on first start * make a package without the firmware, inform the user about the license, then automaticly download the firmware from svn.slimdevices. * automaticly download an official package from slimdevices on first start i would welcome an offical statement and a reason why redistribution is not allowed. I guess the firmware contains/used licensed code (mp3 decoder, fpga compiler, ip stack, ...) that is not allowed for redistribution, but i can only guess. -- fragfutter fragfutter's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35184 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76579 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
