Normally, it would be permissable to ship sources with a bad license (and just disable that functionality), but the unrar license does not permit this. It says: 5. Installing and using the UnRAR utility signifies acceptance of these terms and conditions of the license. 6. If you don't agree with terms of the license you must remove UnRAR files from your storage devices and cease to use the utility. Since this license applies equally to the source as to the binary, we have to interpret the installation of the source as an acceptance of these terms. Fedora doesn't accept these terms (they're awful, and poorly worded), so we need to hold to clause 6 and remove the files. Please take care of this as soon as possible, and ensure that we're using a clean tarball for all active Fedora branches.

As an aside, I've added the unrar license (with some explanation) to the "Bad" list on the Licensing table. ~spot From tcallawa at redhat.com Wed Jan 2 22:13:33 2008 From: tcallawa at redhat.com (Tom "spot" Callaway) Date: Wed, 02 Jan 2008 17:13:33 -0500 Subject: [Fedora-legal-list] Re: Legal Problem: md5 implementation In-Reply-To: <876428eyp2.fsf@fc5.bigo.ensc.de> References: <1190061010.3816.50.camel@localhost.localdomain> <87bqc0wgqm.fsf@kosh.bigo.ensc.de> <87ejgwfexo.fsf@fc5.bigo.ensc.de> <1190122563.3291.17.camel@localhost.localdomain> <1190130618.3291.62.camel@localhost.localdomain> <876428eyp2.fsf@fc5.bigo.ensc.de> Message-ID: <477C0C8D.5060505@redhat.com> On 09/18/2007 Enrico Scholz wrote: > * 2000, RSA changed license to allow usage of "the reference C code > ... > without license from RSA for any purpose" A blast from the past on this one: I've been giving some thought to this RSA license issue, and rereading all of the relevant documentation. A couple of points: The original RFC1321 reference code is here: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1321.html That code is under BSD with advertising (which is GPL incompatible). The contents of the RFC are explicitly stated to be freely redistributable (not public domain). In 2000, RSA clarified some of the legal issues: http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/RSA-MD-all What they said was that: Implementations of these message-digest algorithms, including implementations derived from the reference C code in RFC-1319, RFC-1320, and RFC-1321, may be made, used, and sold without license from RSA for any purpose. This means that the RFC1321 reference implementation can be used without the license, and it effectively becomes Copyright only. Accordingly, I'm going to have Fedora deal with this issue by implenting a policy that whenever we come across C code that implements RFC-1319, RFC-1320, and RFC-1321 (MD2, MD4, MD5) under the troublesome BSD with advertising clause, we will be using it without license from RSA. In English, it means that we don't need to worry about resolving these conflicts, but we should advise upstream of the situation, and recommend that they "use" this code without RSA's license as well, and reflect that usage in the source code by removing RSA's license (but not RSA's copyright). ~spot From tcallawa at redhat.com Sun Jan 6 01:30:30 2008 From: tcallawa at redhat.com (Tom "spot" Callaway) Date: Sat, 05 Jan 2008 20:30:30 -0500 Subject: [Fedora-legal-list] Re: MeepZor Consulting Public Licence (MCPL) - good or bad?

I'm currently packaging it for work, because I need it there - independent, whether the license is FSF approved or not ;-) Otherwise the package will end in Livna, where it shouldn't have problems anyway, looks like a normal free license to me.

Interesting. You should probably ask Paul Vixie if you can get his written permission. ~spot From dmalcolm at redhat.com Fri Jan 18 14:47:01 2008 From: dmalcolm at redhat.com (David Malcolm) Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2008 09:47:01 -0500 Subject: [Fedora-legal-list] Question: Licensing of xmltramp.py Message-ID: <1200667621.3259.157.camel@cassandra.boston.redhat.com> See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=378531 "Review Request: python-xmltramp - xmltramp is a pythonic API for working with XML" The payload is a single file: http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/xmltramp/xmltramp-2.17.py which has this text: __copyright__ = "(C) 2003-2006 Aaron Swartz.

The Falcon Programming Language is released under FPLL: this is mainly an Apache2 license modified to extend the openness of the license to the embedding application and to the scripts. Here I am submitting the license to fedora-legal for approval. When I wrote the language, I searched around for a suitable license, mainly looking at other programming languages as Python and Ruby. I found there was too many gray areas about using the scripting languge as a scripting engine in foreign applications, and also the byproduct of the system (precompiled scripts) was left in a "undeclared state" which I didn't like. Even the script themselves, which are written in a certain language on which the copyright-copyleft extends, are often left in an undeclared state by those licenses. As I wanted more clarity and more explicit freedom for my users, I wrote the FPLL thinking at the apllication writers and at the applications embedding falcon as a scripting engine. Of all the open source licenses I checked, APACHE 2 was giving the guarantees I wanted both to Falcon and to their users, just it didn't cover "embedding" and "scripts"; so I used it and just extended it to scripts and embedding applications. I have started the OSI registration process, in the sense that I have asked for a legal advice of an accredited lawyer in my country, and I am waiting its relation to submit it to OSI. The license commentary (my intention) is here: http://www.falconpl.org/?page_id=license_comment and the text of the license is here: http://www.falconpl.org/?page_id=license I include the text of the two documents here below: Dear Reader, First of all, thanks for considering using The Falcon Language for Your job, or to embed it into Your application, or to use it for any other reason. The Falcon Programming Language License explains what You are allowed to do with Falcon and what You are supposed (and allowed) not to do. Since the legal jargon may be cryptic, You are provided here with a little resume of the License. It is important that You read and accept the License, as this resume hasn't any legal valence, and is provided only for the reason to express clarifications and examples that cannot find their place in the formal document. The License grants You the rights to use the Source code of Falcon and its various components in any way; You can study it, You can copy it, You can modify it, and You can even sell it, but You can't change the license under which it is distributed: even if You sell it, You have to provide the customers with the source code of Falcon and to grant them the same rights You have on it. The License also grants Your copyrights and intellectual rights for any modification or addition You may want to apply to Falcon. In case or addition and modifications, the License binds You to provide the user with the information that the original program, that is Falcon, was modified by You and what are the changes or the additions that You applied. Also, even if You can freely distribute, or even charge a fee, for Your derived work, You MUST apply the Falcon Programming Language License to Your modifications, and distribute them under the same terms. In other words, Your modifications, if made public, must be provided or available in source code. The license also grants You the right to embed Falcon in any application. Here You are granted the right to pick the terms and licenses You prefer, and to distribute Your embedding application without providing its source code. Even if significant portions of Falcon are in line functions, and even if You decide to statically link Falcon in Your application, this doesn't make it a "Derivative Work" of it: Your Embedding application is free to embed Falcon "as is" as it wish, without any requirements in terms of source distribution. You can also modify Falcon for Your specific needs and THEN embed Your modified version; the modified version of Falcon is under Falcon License, and must be made available in source code (or be proposed as a Contribution to the Falcon Committee), but Your Embedding application can still be distributed under Your preferred terms. The License has only a requirement that is demanded on Your Embedding application: You HAVE to state somewhere (in a place that CAN possibly be seen by the average user) that You are embedding Falcon and the reason for that. In example, You may state "ProgramX uses the Falcon Programming Language to automatize the Gamma procedure". About the scripts, which are more or less what a scripting language is for, You are granted the right to apply the license You prefer. As Falcon is also a script "compiler", You may even retain from distributing the script sources, and apply closed-source license to Your script-based application or to the scripts that are embedded in Your embedding application. However, if You don't distribute the script sources, You are again required to state somewhere in Your documentation or where the user can read it that You are using "Falcon", and more or less why You are doing it. For a pure Falcon application, You can just state "This application is written in Falcon". In example, if You use Falcon to drive a web site, and You don't want Your site visitors to ever see Your scripts, You have to put somewhere a reading like "Powered with Falcon"; doesn't have to be a n-inch banner on Your home page, You may also have just a small reading in a secondary page. What You cannot do is to claim that any thing You learnt from Falcon is Yours: especially, You are forbidden to patent any element that is found in Falcon. Another thing that You can't do is to sell a Falcon based product as if it were "completely" Yours, forgetting to cite, even in a very small reading, the fact that Falcon is in. Finally, a thing that the License prevents You from doing is to put the blame for failures on Falcon: the product is provided as-is, without any warranty. It's up to You to test if it is suitable to solve Your problems, and if a Falcon based application can be sold and granted as "working" to Your customers. If that application breaks, whether there's a problem with Falcon or not, You can't issue any claim on the Falcon contributors. Be kind on the Open Source Community: they have already made a lot for You even if You don't know them (and even if they don't know You).
