Bug#233482: is condor dfsg-compliant ?
hi,
from http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines and
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/downloads/v6.8.license.html
1. Free Redistribution

"5. you are granted a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty- free perpetual

offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Software in source code and
object code form and derivative works"
checked.
2. Source Code
same as 1. above
*BUT* i have not myself been able to get source code so far. i'm waiting
access to source code so that i can freely redistribute it.
as stated at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.8/1_5Availability.html :
"The Condor source code is no longer available for public download from the
Internet. If you desire the Condor source code, please contact the Condor
Team in order to discuss it further."
*not* checked.
3. Derived Works
same as 1. above
checked
4. Integrity of The Author's Source Code
same as 1. above
checked.
5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups
There is no such thing in condor's licence.
checked.
6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor
There is no such thing in condor's licence.
checked.
7. Distribution of License
"Any exercise of rights under this license including sublicenses by you is
subject to the following conditions:

this Condor Public License in: (1) the Software, and (2) any user
documentation or other similar material which is provided with the Software."
checked.
8. License Must Not Be Specific to Debian
There is no reference to debian in condor's licence.
checked.
9. License Must Not Contaminate Other Software
There is no reference to distribution means in condor's licence.
checked.
==
the "Gordian knot" is "2." above : there is no publicly available source code.
source code download is subject to prior registration.
as soon as i (or anybody else) can get source code (and then redistribute it),
i think condor will be dfsg-compliant and thus eligible to debian's main
archive. Is that true ?
cheers,
