Hi people
Well, about Raster3D. I have talked a little more with the author:
*ABOUT THE LICENSE*
OK, this is one time too many. It seems I must bow to the inevitable
and add a paragraph marked "License" to the web site and to the
distributed package. But it may take me some weeks to devise
suitable text and get legal advice.
*ABOUT NON-FREE*
It is fine to use Raster3D for commercial purposes;
in fact you can see from the covers of many scientific journals that it
is used for this by many publishers. Raster3D may not be sold, however.
*ABOUT PERMISSION TO DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM*
As I told you, I have explicitly given Debian permission to include
Raster3D in the past, but it never seems to emerge from the other
end of the process.
*END*
So... even with the author giving us permission to put Raster3D on
Debian, it's necessary to have a license?
And using Raster3D for commercial purposes, still includes it on
non-free category?
Thank you very much
Nelson
