ITP fsmark - bug 655224: License restriction for lib_timing.c DFSG compliant?
I was not sure whether to Cc debian-devel. I didn't do it, cause everyone can
lookup the current state at the ITP. Please add it to Cc for your answer when
you find it approbiate.
Hi!
On packaging fs_mark I found
8 * Copyright (c) 2000 Carl Staelin.
9 * Copyright (c) 1994-1998 Larry McVoy.
10 * Distributed under the FSF GPL with
11 * additional restriction that results may published only if
12 * (1) the benchmark is unmodified, and
13 * (2) the version in the sccsid below is included in the report.
14 * Support for this development by Sun Microsystems is gratefully
acknowledged.
in lib_timing.c.
Is this restriction DFSG compliant?
What are the alternatives when it isn't?
I will hold back further packaging efforts until further notice.
The current state is at:
Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/collab-maint/fsmark.git
Vcs-Browser: http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/fsmark.git;a=summary
It already builds a package, but packaging is not finished for review yet.
Thanks,
