Sure. Let’s just add editorial notes from Terence and you to clean up the licence situation. We will put that into debian/copyright, and you (Terence, probably) can put it up on the website, and that should be everything anyone could ever need. >which is why the “LICENSE.txt” of Antlr itself does not >> work for you. (Side fact: it’s misnamed because PD means absence of >> the need for a licence.) >What file name does Debian then propose? This is not about Debian (they do not ship those files anyway, but collect all licencing information in a central file) but about PD versus licences. But this does not matter – we’re not re-releasing, so we just put the updated info “somewhere”, and everything is good. Besides, with the proposed language I sent to Terence, there would be a licence, so this point is moot anyway. >> 1) antlr/actions/python/ >> 2) lib/python/ >My "statement" is then: > > o All source code packed with (1) is released in terms of the BSD software >license. That is one of these? * http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause * http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause > p All source code packed with (2) is released in terms of the GPL software >license. This also, unfortunately, has got several options… * GPL, any version * GPL version 2 only * GPL version 2 or later * GPL version 3 only * GPL version 3 or later * GPL version (1 or) 2 or 3 only >So, can you help me reformulate them so that they look proper and can be >used in an "official" statement?

It would be good if you can PGP sign it, but that’s not been required until now. If you update a website, sure, put it up there. Otherwise, I’d suggest (once finished) you also send it to Terence, so it can be shown at the official Antlr site. Thanks for your patience! bye, //mirabilos -- <igli> exceptions: a truly awful implementation of quite a nice idea. <igli> just about the worst way you could do something like that, afaic. <igli> it's like anti-design. <mirabilos> that too… may I quote you on that? <igli> sure, tho i doubt anyone will listen ;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
