The QPL licence (original) (raw)

Sorry, this should have gone to -legal straight, not first to -devel.

Please CC me on replies!

I would like to package a software released under the QPL licence:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/checkout/libcwd/libcwd/LICENSE.QPL?rev=1.1

It seems that the QPL is DFSG-free, but I would like to have confirming voices. It disallows the source code to be distributed in modified form, but allows the packaging of patches alongside for modification at build-time. Thus, I think paragraph 4 of the DFSG makes this package packageable.

I am trying to convince the author to change the licence, but if I don't succeed... can I package libcwd for Debian?

Thanks,
