Re: [gNewSense-users] stalled package kde-i18n-sw- kernel-we adoption

[marco\.chieppa-crap]

I've just seen the section.
I think it's free, without one exception we can simply
update (but is not clear)

About the (ex?)non-free:
0)kdenetwork - I think this's free because the licences are:
        -Gnu FDL
        - GPL
        -Artistic
         and all of that permits use, modify, copy, distribute,
         Like example, for package with "artistic licence" the
notice is:
           Redistribution and use in source and binary
forms, with or without
           modification, are permitted provided that the
following conditions
           are met:

           2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce

              notice, this list of conditions and the
following disclaimer in the
              documentation and/or other materials provided
with the distribution.
           3. All advertising materials mentioning features
or use of this software
              must display the following acknowledgement:
              This product includes software developed by
the University of
              California, Berkeley and its contributors.
           4. Neither the name of the University nor the names of
its contributors
              may be used to endorse or promote products
derived from this software
              without specific prior written permission.

1)kdesdk - I think this's free because the licences are:
        -GPL
        -LGPL
        -BSD
        -Artistic
        -public domain
        -Gnu FDL
        -individual license
         and all of that permits use, modify, copy, distribute

2)kdeutils - I think this's free because the licences are:
        -BSD
        -Artistic
        -GPL
        -Gnu FDL
         and all of that permits use, modify, copy, distribute

3)kdeartwork - for this package the only problem is Virtual
Machine screen saver:
        from the copyright file:
  --------------------
Virtual Machine screen saver:
Mixture of GNU General Public License and the following:
Copyright (c) 1983 Regents of the University of California.
 All rights reserved.
Redistribution and use in source and binary forms are

without specific prior written permission.

Since these two licenses are incompatible, the Virtual
Machine screen saver is not built and shipped with
kdeartwork.  However, the individual source files (each
under only a single one of these licenses) are still
available in the kdeartwork source package.

  --------------------

Maybe, if i've understand well, we can simply get off
'Virtual Machine screen saver' from the source package.

I haven't still change nothing, because i would like your
opinion, if i'm wrong.
