Hello all, I am packaging clamav, and upstream uses latex2html to generate the html documentation for it. The problem is that upstream has not been including the icons from latex2html in the distributed tarball, breaking links for users who don't happen to have latex2html installed (the hyperlinks point to a latex2html install, rather than the same directory) So, I would like to ship the icons in the .deb, and repoint the links. My problem is: is this legal? Here is what I think is the relevant part of the copyright: o Any work distributed or published that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of this software or any part thereof is subject to the terms of this agreement. The aggregation of another unrelated program with this software or its derivative on a volume of storage or distribution medium does not bring the other program under the scope of these terms. Do the icons count as 'contains or is a derivative of this software'? It might mean yes, but I thought I would solicit suggestions. It makes no difference to me - I'll just not ship them if they are non-free; it saves the postinstall uudecode step as well :) My fear is that if the rest of the license applies, it appears to be make it incompatible with the GPL, although I am not sure. Please cc: me on replies, as I am not subscribed. Reply-To and M-F-T set accordingly. Thanks all, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
