Hi Thorsten, Thanks for your answer!Le ven. 11 avr. 2025 à 17:20, Thorsten Alteholz <debian@alteholz.de> a écrit :
the license allows to use the software but only allows distribute the "ORIGINAL package". So this is not compatible with DFSG §3.
I asked clarification to the original author Takuya Ooura if it would be possible to relicense his software under a DFSG-compatible license. I received the reply that his software is embedded in chrome (see chrome://credits/) under the following license:
/* * http://www.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~ooura/fft.html * Copyright Takuya OOURA, 1996-2001 ** You may use, copy, modify and distribute this code for any purpose (include * commercial use) and without fee. Please refer to this package when you modify
* this code. */Would this license be DFSG compatible? If so, what would be the way to handle the relicensing? The original source code is only hosted in a university web page without any vcs and the last modification was made in 2006. I doubt the author wants to make a new release for that. Would a public announcement from him on debian-ai@lists.debian.org be okay? Or if I quote his email in debian/copyright, will that be enough?
Best regards, Dylan
