About packing Lucida
by Man Wong 05 May '10

05 May '10

I am pretty sure there should not be any issues with packaging Lucida in Fedora with the license, as it is under the good license list on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal_considerations_for_fonts#Other_good_Lic… However, just to play it safe, I would like to reconfirm that we are indeed allowed to package Lucida in Fedora, in case anything have changed. Thanks, Man Lung Wong

Status of ICQ-related apps in Fedora.
by Peter Lemenkov 05 May '10

05 May '10

Hello All! It seems, that *all* 3rd party software, which is should connect to ICQ networks for normal operation, violates their EULA (or urges users to violate EULA). Thus, keeping in mind, that there is no way to use ICQ-related software w/o explicitly violating their license agreement, and there are many other open alternatives (and even proprietary systems, which permits 3rd party applications), I think that software, designed to work with explicit requirement to be connected to ICQ network, should be considered as unacceptable for inclusion into Fedora (exept thiose titles, who has explicit permission from ICQ LLC for connecting and interoperating with their network). Any opinions? http://www.icq.com/legal/end-user-license.html "You agree not to (1) create or use any software other than the Software provided by ICQ or by America Online, Inc., or any affiliate thereof, to enter your ICQ number and password or to access the ICQ Services, without the express written authorization of ICQ; (2) extract information from the ICQ Services, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, alter, duplicate, make copies, create derivative works from, distribute or provide others with the Software, the ICQ communications protocol or any information available on, derived or extracted from the ICQ Services, or any part thereof; (3) block, disable or otherwise affect any advertising, advertisement banner window, links to other sites and services, or other features that constitute an integral part of the Software and ICQ Services; (4) connect, use, attempt to connect or use in any way the ICQ Services, for any commercial purpose and any other purpose that is not for your private personal use in good faith and as explicitly offered on the ICQ Web site; and (5) incorporate, integrate or otherwise include the Software or any portion thereof (including the ICQ communications protocols) into any software, program or product that communicates, accesses, or otherwise connects with the ICQ Service or any other instant messaging, Internet, or online service." -- With best regards, Peter Lemenkov.

Open Market/FastCGI license
by Jason L Tibbitts III 03 May '10

03 May '10

The following license (from the FCGI perl module) looks to be mostly MIT, but with a couple of extra bits. I'm pretty sure this is still free, but I'm not sure it can still be considered to be MIT. Could I get a clarification? We ship our stock perl package with a soft dependency on the FCGI module, so I found it odd that we don't already ship it. I hope it's not due to this license. ========= This FastCGI application library source and object code (the "Software") and its documentation (the "Documentation") are copyrighted by Open Market, Inc ("Open Market").
