Hi Sandro,
IANAL (I am not a lawyer), but I wonder if we shouldn't ask debian-legal
about these license clauses for erf.c:
3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software
must display the following acknowledgement:
This product includes software developed by Endace Technology Ltd.,
Hamilton, New Zealand, and its contributors.
4. Neither the name of Endace Technology nor the names of its contributors
may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software
without specific prior written permission.
It seems to be that you can't talk about the features of the software
without using the name of Endace Technology, but that you can't use the name
of Endace without prior written consent. I guess it all stems from how you
define "All advertising materials," which taken broadly could contain the
description field in the debian/control file, along with how you interpret
"endorse or promote."
Comments from others who have more experience with this?
Thanks,
tony
