Hi,
I've got a question regarding to the majordomo license.
It says the following :
d. Majordomo, if modified, must carry prominent notices
stating that changes have been made, and the dates of
any such changes.
You may publicly distribute an unmodified and
complete version of Majordomo, for instance as
part of a collection of free software packages,
but you must distribute the whole package, and
you must tell people where they can obtain the
latest version:
ftp://ftp.greatcircle.com/pub/majordomo/
You may not publicly distribute a modified or
incomplete version of Majordomo. You may make
such a version available to your own clients,
subject to the restrictions below, but not to the
general public (for instance, by placing it on an
anonymous FTP site).
You may not distribute (publicly or privately) a modified
version of Majordomo without clearly identifying it as such
(by changing the version string in majordomo_version.pl),
identifying the changes (through appropriate README
documentation and/or comments in the code),
identifying who will be responsible for supporting
the modified version, and informing people receiving
the modified version where they can find an
unmodified version:
ftp://ftp.greatcircle.com/pub/majordomo/
Does this mean that I'm not allowed to apply patches to majordomo and
package it for debian or am I wrong ? My english is not the best, so I may
misunderstood something ;-)
Or is there any way for us to distribute a modified version ? I'm asking
because Brian White supplied 2 patches for majordomo and I do not know if it
is possible to apply them.
I mailed them to the upstream-authors, but it may take some time till the
next majordomo-release.
regards
Sascha
