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 -- Sascha Runschke private eMail : decker@matrix.ping.de Cell: +49-(0)177-2767693 Debian related : decker@debian.org Get the power of Debian-linux - http://www.debian.org Key fingerprint = EE354ADB C23E5FD4 38DDBBE7 8F065DBF
