retitle 1072165 ftpmasters: please decide on sunrpc in dietlibc, openafs block 1072708 1072165 severity 1072708 important thanks
Hi ftpmasters, It seems that (#1072708) openafs is in a similar situation as dietlibc in that the Sun RPC code is included in openafs and the freeness of this usage hinges on this clause: > * may copy or modify Sun RPC without charge, but are not authorized > * to license or distribute it to anyone else except as part of a product or > * program developed by the user. In openafs we have patched the rpcgen sources somewhat heavily and distribute it as "rxgen", which would seem to me to make this a program developed by the OpenAFS project (i.e., not Sun RPC). I believe that the process of making a decision for dietlibc's case will have very high overlap with the process of making a decision for openafs's case, and am retitling this bug accordingly; please feel free to revert and/or let me know if you prefer a separate ticket. I'm also downgrading the bug against openafs to important pending the decision, since AFAICT it has not been established that the code in question is in violation of policy (and this bug is how that will be established or not). Thanks, Ben Kaduk
