[josm-dev] License for tracer2
Hello a wile ago I start to enhance the plugin tracer. And now it is time to make it available for all josm user. Since the new tracer2 use some code from tracer (plugin and server). I won't to know witch license I have to use. The tracer plugin is under GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2 can I put the new tracer2 under Version 3 ? The server I check out from http://subversion.assembla.com/svn/osm-tracer There is also an License file. But it is in written in Czech. Program lze bez omezení použít pro pøípravu dat do projektu OpenStreetMap. Program lze bez omezení šíøit a mìnit s tím, že bude zachována a pøiložena tato licence. Program ale nelze použít pro pøípravu dat, které by byly komerènì využity, aniž by pøed tímto využitím byly uploadovány do projektu OpenStreetMap pod licencí, kterou OSM vyžaduje. Can I use code from the server and put it under a GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. I don't have a email address from Jan Bilak or Petr Dlouhý. So I can't ask them. ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev

The tracer plugin is under GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2 can I put the new tracer2 under Version 3 ? This depends on the exact license conditions. The text in the osm SVN states under GPL. This usually means verion 1 or any later one. As license version two is included I'd assume version 2 and any later one is meant.

FWIW, I do not think that ø (U+00F8) exists in the Czech alphabet. I guess that it should be ř instead, because that is what 0xf8 is in latin2. Likewise, èì should probably be čě. I tried to translate this by recode utf8..latin1|recode latin2..utf8, but some characters were crippled, such as ž was replaced with z. This sentence looks alarming: Program ale nelže použít pro přípravu dat, které by byly komerčně vyuzity, ... Based on my very limited knowledge of Slavic languages, I am guessing that the 2 last words mean something like commercial utilization. If it is prohibiting that, it would be incompatible with the GPL. Best regards, Marko Mäkelä ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev

So that means that I can use change and redistributed the software. But I am not allowed to change the license to GPL. Have someone the e-mail address from the programmer. Otherwise I have to rewrite the code for the server. Am 28.10.2013 19:05, schrieb AlfonZ: Full text with correct encoding and rough translation.

The program can be freely used for preparing data to the project OpenStreetMap. The program can be freely redistributed and changed, provided that this license will be included unmodified. Program can not be used for preparing data that will be commercially used, unless they were uploaded to the project OpenStreetMap under license that OSM requires prior this application.
