Iain, IN MY OPINION... This is one that is best left as is and NOT put in the Repositories. It is used only by a select few that really understand it and can control it properly. For this package to get wider exposure to those that would abuse it and perhaps use it against us is of concern to me. Dave KB3EFS On 03/09/15 10:01, Iain R. Learmonth

Hi, I came across JNOS today and it looks like an interesting piece of software that it would be nice to include in Debian. Unfortunately, this license that it has been released under "available to all for amateur radio use only" is not Debian Free Software Guidelines compliant and so it would not be possible to include this software in the main Debian repositories. Section 6 of the Debian Free Software Guidelines requires that licenses have "No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor". You can read more about the Debian Free Software Guidelines on the Debian website: https://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines Would you consider relicensing this software under a license that is compliant with the Debian Free Software Guidelines in your next release? For more information on compatiable licenses, the Debian Wiki has more information: https://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses If you are willing to relicense this software, I would be happy to look at packaging it for Debian. Thanks, Iain. |
