Hi again Carlo, If the license is the one here: http://bourbon.usc.edu/tgif/copyright.html then the situation is even worse than with QPL:
"[...] and its documentation for *not-for-profit* purpose" (emphasis is mine). This is non-free: https://people.debian.org/~bap/dfsg-faq.html#no_commercial So either: 1) the license is QPL and in this case the situation is a bit ambiguous (but maybe it is ok, IANAL), 2) or the license is "royalty-free" and then tgif is obviously non-free Tomasz On 22/11/14 15:10, Carlo Segre wrote: > > Hi Tomasz: > > I am referring to the page below. > > http://bourbon.usc.edu/tgif/download.html > > he calls it free-of-charge butit is a license which was qualified as > acceptable when tgif was first put in the archive, before I adopted it. > > If it is now not acceptable, perhaps it would be a good idea to discuss it > with the author who, in my experience, has been very willing to accomodate > my requests. > > Carlo > > On Sat, 22 Nov 2014, Tomasz Buchert wrote: > > >Hi Carlo, > >I'm trying to fix https://bugs.debian.org/768690 and > >I stumbled upon this bug.
