Description:
debconf - Debian configuration management system
Changes:
debconf (0.3.79) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Copyright change: debconf is now licensed under the terms of the BSD
copyright, minus the advertising clause. I have contacted all
contributors and they agree with this license change. This also changes
the license of the Configuration Management spec. The sole exception to
this change is some libapt code in Client/preconfigure that is part of
the /usr/lib/debconf/apt-extracttemplates binary. That code remains
under the GPL, as it is part of libapt. It will hopefully be moved back
into libapt one day. apt-extracttemplates is not necessary for the
proper functioning of debconf; it is just a binary used in an
optimization.
* Motivations for this change were various. I want programs to be able to
use debconf even if they are not licensed under the GPL, and it could
be argued debconf serves as a library (with varying degrees of
correctness depending which part you were talking about). I would like
debconf to be available to others, including the BSD community, some of
whom I know are looking at issues that could possibly be solved by
debconf.
* Several reogranaizations for this. Deleted doc/COPYING. Added a README.
Included the text of the copyright into debian/copyright, since it is a
slightly modified BSD license (minus point 3). Modified numerous files
for the new copyright. Removed Client/preconfigure/README, and included
the text that was in it (expended) indo debian/copyright. Added
doc/COPYING to Client/preconfigure/ (how many copies of the GPL do
_you_ have in your cvs repository? ;-) Caused debian/copyright to be
linked to doc/COPYRIGHT in the source tarball.
