dcraw license change: (see bug #424663) (original) (raw)

Dear All,

The licensing of dcraw has recently changed:

A clause concerning the mandatory distribution of source code has been modified with the following footnote added:

If you have not modified dcraw.c in any way, a link to my homepage qualifies as "full source code".

To me, this seems less restrictive than the clause without this footnote. It seems that you only need to include a link to the source code (which is already present in the copyright file), and don't need to make the source available.

However I would appreciate it if the assembled masses of legal experts could confirm that they agree that this is the case.

Thanks,

link to source code (containing full license) http://cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/dcraw.c
