Re: Debian package for SCIM



Put it on debian's server is not for commercial purpose. the point we violate suzhe's copying is change scim-chinese from rpm format to deb format.  so if suzhe permits we change its format to deb, it's legal to do it. I hope this...

Thanks for your concern.  I am well aware that SU Zhe is the copyright
holder, and I need a license to redistribute scim-chinese (and for that
matter, I need license to redistribute scim and scim-tables as well).

The following is from the scim-chinese package distributed by the author
and copyright holder SU Zhe (copied from scim-chinese 0.2.7 RPM, file
/usr/share/doc/packages/scim-chinese/COPYING):

I think if I redistribute scim-chinese for Debian users, it qualifies for
testing purpose.

P.S.: I suggest you send plain text Emails instead of HTML ones, at
least to me.  You mail seems to be labeled as spam, I only received it
through the list, Thanks.
