hi, from http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines and http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/downloads/v6.8.license.html
1. Free Redistribution "1.

Source Code same as 1. above *BUT* i have not myself been able to get source code so far. i'm waiting access to source code so that i can freely redistribute it. as stated at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.8/1_5Availability.html : "The Condor source code is no longer available for public download from the Internet. If you desire the Condor source code, please contact the Condor Team in order to discuss it further." *not* checked. 3. Derived Works same as 1. above checked 4. Integrity of The Author's Source Code same as 1. above checked. 5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups There is no such thing in condor's licence. checked. 6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor There is no such thing in condor's licence. checked. 7. Distribution of License "Any exercise of rights under this license including sublicenses by you is subject to the following conditions: Redistributions of this Software, with or without modification, must reproduce this Condor Public License in: (1) the Software, and (2) any user documentation or other similar material which is provided with the Software." checked. 8. License Must Not Be Specific to Debian There is no reference to debian in condor's licence. checked. 9. License Must Not Contaminate Other Software There is no reference to distribution means in condor's licence. checked. == the "Gordian knot" is "2." above : there is no publicly available source code. source code download is subject to prior registration. as soon as i (or anybody else) can get source code (and then redistribute it), i think condor will be dfsg-compliant and thus eligible to debian's main archive. Is that true ? cheers, -- guillaume pernot http://www.praksys.org - Midi-Pyrénées et Aquitaine Membre du réseau Libre Entreprise GPG fingerprint : D356 5318 CE52 64C9 0CEF
