[Savannah-register-public] [task #7872] Submission of picogen

[Sebastian Mach]

Follow-up Comment #7, task #7872 (project administration):

Hello Sylvain,

I see. Personally I have to say I dislike such 'blanket clauses', and I hear
they are actually ignored in Germany, when it comes to law (so a software
released under "GPL v2 or later" would actually be "GPL v2" in front of the
law, even if there would already be a "GPL v4").

But then, my trustfullness in the FSF is big, it actually changed my way of
thinking about software; I think the "or later"-clause is okay.

So, to come to a conclusion: I will patch the license of the project/source
files to "GPL v3 or later", and agree to your opinion, so picogen can be
hosted here.


Thank you,

Sebastian

[Savannah-register-public] [task #8056] Submission of pov-mode.el

[Marco Pessotto]

Follow-up Comment #2, task #8056 (project administration):

Hi!

I think that in your explaining something is wrong. The mode I maintain is
free software (under the GPL3). This is a major mode for GNU Emacs, for which
I signed a copyright assignment to the FSF. Richard Stallman asked me to do so
for inclusion in GNU Emacs and the process is going on.

I'll make an example: kpovmodeller (a modeller for POV-mode) is shipped with
every version of KDE and is free software.
If you don't want I upload the tarball with the template files (which license
should the the POV-Ray license but the POV team itself is not sure about this
because these files can be freely inserted in the file scenes) I won't do so,
and I will try something else. (I could rewrite this stuff). But the code
itself is free as free speech, even if talks about a "proprietary" program (I
consider this "non-free", but not proprietary). Please see the wikipedia page
about the POV-Ray license.

However, someone is wrong: or RMS, asking me to track the previous
maintainers and contributors of the code, to sign and send the paper, or you,
denying me a couple of kilobytes for this project.

So, I'm waiting for a reply.

Regards

Marco Pessotto

[Savannah-register-public] [task #7932] Submission of Lilisp Programming Language

[Julio Serrano]

Follow-up Comment #4, task #7932 (project administration):

Hi,

You might need a JVM update. W3s and Lilisp are designed under Java 5. If you
want to make it easy, install eclipse. Compilation in eclipse is fair easy.
But anyway you'll have to install JDK 1.5. (Java SE 1.5 will be OK).

About bad dates... lol My computer have had problems with its MB batery... so
I could commit a mistake with dates...

If you wish to try the JAR, you only need the JRE 1.5

Thank you again for your efforts.
Julio

Follow-up Comment #3, task #8056 (project administration):

Hi,

I'm Xah Lee and i'm a friend of Marco and currently hosts his emacs povray
mode for him on my personal site at xahlee.org.

He asked me to help explain the situation a bit.

His code is just a emacs mode for povray, and is licensed under GPL, and does
not include code from any other non-GPL source.

Marco is looking for a more long term place to host his emacs povray mode
code so hopefully savannah.gnu.org is a good place. (I know Marco to be a
devotee of the Free Software ideals, and i know Richard Stallman has
personally exachanged emails with him in consideration of bundling his code in
emacs 23)

Thanks.

Follow-up Comment #8:

Hi,

"GPL v3 or later" is not exactly "blanket clause" :)

In the GPL you can read:
"Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns."


I approved your project. You'll receive a notification mail shortly.

Regards.

Follow-up Comment #1:

Hi,

Your project complies with the Savannah hosting requirements, except for one
thing to precise:

In your headers, you mention that the license is "either version 2 of the
License, or (at your option) any later version", while in COPYING, there is a
linux-kernel-style note mentioning that only version 2 can be used.

Can you clarify this point?

Regards.

Follow-up Comment #2, task #7941 (project administration):

oops, that was an oversight, the intention was for us the license it under
GPLv2 only, I'll change the headers from v2 or later to only v2 as soon as
possible!

Hi Sylvain,

Thanks for taking over the project review.

Good catch about the license discrepancy. I intended the GPL v3.
Attached the updated tar ball.

Thanks.
