Bug#665341: Licensing of an old Java code
Hi,
I do packaging for Debian, and I am currently packaging a software that
makes use of a Java code extracted from your book:
* Gary Cornell and Cay S. Horstmann, Core Java (Book/CD-ROM)
* Published By SunSoft Press/Prentice-Hal
This code is CoreJava-Format, a class for formatting numbers that
follows printf conventions.
The issue is this code is licensed under a NON-COMMERCIAL purpose usage.
Though, to be in Debian, the code must be completely free of usage.
Would you mind "freeing" this code with a Debian compatible license (BSD
for example), which makes it free of use for any purpose ?
Regarding the nature of this particular code, I don't think this would
an issue for you.
If you agree to do so, can you please answer this email with a "format"
agreement as well as the selected licence.
Regards
Olivier Sallou
