Sofia SIP COPYRIGHTS
Hello -legal,
I'm currently packaging sofia-sip.org SIP User Agent library which is
licensed under LGPL [1]. There is also a large file populated with several
copyrights [2] related to the code as used and distributed by the some of the
library files. I did not spot any brutal non-DFSG issues, but since it is
large and complex I'd like to read some opinions from any sharp eyed
criticists. However I'm a little bit puzzled by the "Restricted Rights" as
mentioned within the paragraph pasted below [3] when it comes to GOVERNMENT
USE and DoD usages ?
I found that DFAR 252.227-7013 (c) (1) at [4] while being helped by google.
I also didn't paste the whole COPYRIGHTS file here, since it is pretty large,
instead if you spot a suspicios paragraph quote & comment it below. Thanks
for your comments.
