License Issues of Interchange Documentation
I'll like to package the Interchange documentation. The source code
is available seperately from the Interchange software and has
the following licensing:
---snip---
The documentation (including the printed books available for purchase)
follows Red Hat's customary documentation licensing, which is this:
Copyright 2001 by Red Hat, Inc. This material may be distributed only
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Open Publication
License, V1.0 or later (the latest version is presently available at
http://www.opencontent.org/openpub/).
Distribution of substantively modified versions of this document is
prohibited without the explicit permission of the copyright holder.
Distribution of the work or derivative of the work in any standard (paper)
book form for commercial purposes is prohibited unless prior permission is
obtained from the copyright holder.
(end)
In other words, both license options A and B were included.
---snip---
IMHO opinion, this license isn't DFSG-compatible and the doc's
package has go into non-free, right ?
