Buzz and I have had a look around and it may be that this turns out to be invalid. In a nutshell, most of above files are licensed under GPL (but may lack easily accessible source code, we're looking for it). The file ./eurofile/src/wuauth/sigfix.c that got all of this started is only midly problematic. It looks like Stan only made some minor additions to the file, claimed copyright and added the "no-profit" clause about ten years ago. If push comes to shove, sigfix.c is available in a number of versions on the net without the cluase.

Buzz will contact Stan (and other authors) to make sure that all the code is OSI-conform. -- isdnutils: various licensing issues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511988 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
