Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : bash-scripting-guide Version : 0.5 Upstream Author : Mendel Cooper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://personal.riverusers.com/~thegrendel/abs-guide-0.5.tar.gz * License : "LDP License" Description : Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide
David Lawyer of the Linux Documentation Project asked me recently if we could distribute the Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide with Debian. I can knock something together if need be, but I have a lot of other stuff to do. Is anybody interested? As far as the "LDP License" bit goes, the "Copyright" chapter says: The "Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide" is copyright, (c) 2000, by Mendel Cooper. This document may only be distributed subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the LDP License These are very liberal terms, and they should not hinder any legitimate distribution or use of this document. The author especially encourages the use of this document, or portions thereof, for instructional purposes. "LDP License" is a link to http://www.linuxdoc.org/manifesto.html, which is more along the lines of the DFSG than a specific licence. It doesn't require licences to allow modification of the documents, so whoever packages this should probably contact Mendel Cooper and ask for a clarification of this.
