Hello!
Because I am putting more and more work into FireBird packages
and they're still not in Debian - I feel the need to be sure
that the packages I create will be DFSG-compliant.
Of course I've read the license - 3 times, but IANAL and I want
to be sure. I attached the copyright file.
FireBird is InterBase 6.0 compatible product created by volounteers
from InterBase 6.0-beta code.
A part of the license states:
The InterBase public license is based on the Mozilla Public License
V 1.1 with the following changes:
1. The license is published by Inprise Corporation. Only Inprise
Corporation can modify the terms applicable to Covered Code.
2. The license can be modified and used for code which is not
already governed by this license. Modified versions of the
license must be renamed to avoid confusion with Netscape's or
Inprise's license and must include a description of changes from
the InterBase Public License.
3. The name of the license in Exhibit A is the "InterBase Public
License".
4. The reference to an alternative license in Exhibit A has been
removed.
5. Amendments I, II, III, V, and VI have been deleted.
6. Exhibit A, Netscape Public License has been deleted
7. A new amendment (II) has been added, describing the required and
restricted rights to use the trademarks of Inprise Corporation.
We have Mozilla in main, so I belive this license should be OK too.
Please Cc: me the answers as I am not subscribed to the list.
Thanks.
Grzegorz Prokopski
