Anyone want to forward it, or educate me? I am not a lawyer<br> <br> Clauses along the lines of "you can't change it w/o also renaming it"<br> were determined to be incompatible with the GPL some time ago.<br> <br> One of the goals of the GPL is to allow those who receive software to<br> fix it and distribute those fixes. That goal is not compatible with<br> "you can't change it w/o also renaming it".<br> <br> The debian-legal list's archives are probably the best place to read<br> about it. The FSF, I think, also has a relevant, archived list.<br> <br> That incompatibility was an issue for TeX; DEK's license for TeX,<br> metarfont and the CM fonts included such a clause.<br> <br> IIRC Don agreed to some slight change to get past that issue. I suspect<br> something along the lines of "if you change it w/o renaming it then you<br> have to acknowledge that you did so" instead of the original language.<br> <br> So, to be GPL compatible, you have to allow changes w/o requiring<br> renaming, but you can require that any changes be declared.<br> <br> -JimC<br> <font color="#888888">--<br> James Cloos <<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:cloos@jhcloos.com">cloos@jhcloos.com</a>> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6<br> </font> <div> <div class="h5">_______________________________________________<br> openicc mailing list<br> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:openicc@lists.freedesktop.org">openicc@lists.freedesktop.org</a><br> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openicc" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openicc</a><br> </div> </div> </blockquote> </div> <br> <pre wrap=""> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> _______________________________________________ openicc mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:openicc@lists.freedesktop.org">openicc@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openicc">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openicc</a></pre> </blockquote> <br> <br> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- ---------- Please note the new adress -------------- homann colormanagement --------- fon +49 30 611 075 18 Jan-Peter Homann ------------ mobile +49 171 54 70 358 Cotheniusstr. 3 -------- <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.colormanagement.de">http://www.colormanagement.de</a> 10407 Berlin -------- <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="mailto:homann@colormanagement.de">mailto:homann@colormanagement.de</a> </pre> </body> </html>
