I'm in the process of packaging the PyOpenGL 2.0 package (the current debian version is 1.5.7) but I have a licensing question. PyOpenGL2 is, according to the license page, partly covered by the SGI Free Software license B (probably because of the use of SWIG to generate the wrappers.) The SGI FSLB has been discussed here before, and the final decision (if not concensus) seems to be that this license is 'Free' in the debian meaning of the word. Is this indeed the case ?
The PyOpenGL package is also governed by four other licenses: the two PyOpenGL licenses that also cover PyOpenGL 1.5.7 (BSD-style), the GLE license and the PyGLUT license. In my layperson's eyes both are 'free' and acceptable to Debian, but a confirmation is never a bad idea :) http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/documentation/manual/licenses.html (which links to: http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/documentation/manual/licenses-1.5.5.html http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/documentation/manual/licenses-1.5.6.html http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/documentation/manual/licenses-GLE.html http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/documentation/manual/licenses-PyGLUT.html http://oss.sgi.com/projects/FreeB) Another issue is the text of the licenses itself. The SGI license is only available in PostScript or MS Word. Also, the other licenses are all HTML (though easily convertable to ASCII.) Is it acceptable to convert them all to ASCII to include them but refer to the <doc-dir>/html/ subdirectory for the original HTML (and PostScript) versions ? I've already asked SGI for an ASCII version of their license, or at least the ability to create an ASCII version for inclusion in the copyright file. (I haven't heard back yet.) Thanks, PS: I'm also still looking for a mentor. :-) -- Thomas Wouters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi! I'm a .signature virus! copy me into your .signature file to help me spread!
