PHPNuke

[Andreas Mueller <amu@tr.debian.net>]

Hello,


just found it at debian-legal, license of PHPNuke prohibits modifications and 
derived works. The author wants to have his copyright notice visible in the 
footer of all pages that are rendered by PHPNuke


This is in /usr/share/doc/phpnuke/copyright:

Note from upstream author:

 ##############################################################################
 #                        I M P O R T A N T    N O T E                        #
 ##############################################################################
 # IMPORTANT: I saw many sites that removes the copyright line in the footer  #
 # of each page. YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO REMOVE NOR CHANGE/EDIT THAT NOTE. If I #
 # still see this problem happening I'll need to take extreme measures that   #
 # can include: to change the PHP-Nuke license, to encrypt some parts of the  #
 # code, stop distributing it for free and in an extreme case stop developing #
 # it. The decision is in your hands.                                         #
 # If you do not agreed with this simple rule, delete all PHP-Nuke files      #
 # right now and move away from it. Thanks.                                   #

The notice is:

This would seem to also prohibit modifications and derived works, since a
proper copyright notice would reflect the status of the modifier.
