license for a mix of free sw + propritary stuff
Hello,
I would like to package a set of programs, that are linked against a
propritary library. The author has signed a NDA in order to develop the
library (see below) and is not allowed to publish the source. Though, he
placed the frontend tools unto GPL, and is willing to change the license
to another free one when needed. Any ideas which license is suitable for
Debian in this case?
The package won't go into main, of course, but it may be placed in
non-free when the license is clear.
epsUtils
--------
The GPL apply wit the following ammendment.
Due to DNA I don´t have the right to publish the control
sequences used by this package. You don´t have the right
to make reverse enginnering in order to retrieve the control
sequences send to the printer through the library rwLib.a
You may use the rwLib.a library for own programs and
distribute them, but in all case you have to distribute also
the original package epsUtils without change in the code and
file content and tell explicitelly that you use this component.
The following must appear:
===============================================================
This program use rwLib.a

No, really: Outlook Express is an excellent newsreader.
But you should not use it as a newsPOSTER.
