Package: celestia
Version: 1.2.2-5
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.1.6
There are no copyright notices provided regarding the star data sets
used by Celestia under the data/ dir and the textures and models provided
under textures/ and models/.
As for the start catalog data it seems to use the HD catalog and the
HIPPARCOS data set (from reading the README).
I believe the HD catalog is the "Henry Draper catalog". AFAIK this catalog has
been distributed (in machine readable form) in the NASA/GSFC Astronomical
Data Center (ADC) CD-ROM.
However reading http://adc.gsfc.nasa.gov/adc/adccdrom4_R2_doc.html
says:
>>>
Note: The data contained herein are for scientific use only and have no
commercial value. Use of these data in publications of any kind should be
acknowledged by reference to the original authors and publication and to the
ADC CD-ROM. The acknowledgment might read as follows: This paper uses data
provided by Jane Astronomer in AJ,110,1992 as distributed by the
Astronomical Data Center at NASA GSFC on the CD-ROM "Selected Astronomical
Catalogs" Vol. 4, NASA Publication NP-1997(10)-042-GSFC, 1997.
<<<
The Hipparcos catalog, also, does not seem to hold a proper license or
copyright information. This catalog has been produced by the ESA:
http://astro.estec.esa.nl/Hipparcos/catalog.html. Are they in the public
domain? I guess so, but it doesn't say so anywhere....
As for the models, it's not perfectly clear that the authors of them have
provided under the same license that the software uses (GPL). For example,
the Venus, Saturn, and Saturn's rings textures are said to be extracted
from http://www.mmedia.is/~bjj/acknow.html. The copyright of that site is
_not_ GPL:
"All the planetary maps on these pages are publicly available.
You do not need a special permission to use them but if you do then please
mention their origin in your work, e.g. "created by Björn Jónsson" (or
"Bjorn Jonsson" for all of you 8 bit character set challenged out there ;)
or something equivalent. "
The planet maps from David Seal's site: http://maps.jpl.nasa.gov/ also
hold a non-GPL license. The site points to
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/copyrights.html which states:
"JPL authored documents are sponsored by NASA are sponsored by NASA
under Contract NAS7-1407. All documents available from
this server may be protected under the U.S. and Foreign Copyright Laws.
Permission to reproduce may be required. "
This is not a proper DFSG license at all. As a matter of fact, in absence of
license, we have to assume that it is _not_ DFSG-free.
This is a difficult issue, and probably it will take time to decide wether
or not all the information available and used by Celestia is DFSG-free,
however I think that, at the very least, and until this issue is fixed, the
debian/copyright should hold _much_ more than the GPL license.
