eg - Can BSD code be incorporated and redistributed as part
|
|
of a GPL program: Specifically does the BSD license
|
|
requirement for credits in the documentation etc count
|
|
as an 'additional restriction' on distribution as the GPL
|
|
requires there are none. If it does (as my legal info says)
|
|
then you can't mix BSD with GPL and distribute the result.
|
|
If it doesn't can I therefore sell software GPL'd but with
|
|
a documentation requirement of must come with this expensive
|
|
booklet I've written ?
|
|
|
|
In the United States, the anwser is that there is apparently no
|
|
problem, because the BSD credit requirement is not thought to be
|
|
legally enforceable by most attorneys. However, this is possibly not
|
|
the case in other countries (notably, the UK).
|
|
|
|
It *is* an additional restriction (if legally binding) and it does
|
|
pose a problem. Given the good will of Berkeley, while it's a problem
|
|
that needs to be addressed (and rms is looking into various ways of
|
|
doing so); nobody is going to get sued on either side.
|
|
|
|
People might think that the GPL should make a special exception for
|
|
this. (I did at first.) But actually, the Berkeley requirement (if
|
|
enforceable) really is inimical to the GPL. Imagine the situation
|
|
after twenty--or a hundred--people have added their own credit
|
|
requirements. It would become essentially impossible to advertise GNU
|
|
software at all.
|
|
|
|
- How do inline functions in include files related to the GPL
|
|
|
|
GPL: If the inline functions are big/complex enough to make the result
|
|
a derived work, then the GPL applies as a whole to the resulting work.
|
|
The meanings of "big" and "complex" are undecided by the law at this
|
|
point.
|
|
|
|
LGPL: The same thing applies, except that the LGPL (*not* the GPL)
|
|
excludes from worry functions less than ten lines long, whether or not
|
|
they cause derivative status.
|
|
|
|
- What about structures from include files
|
|
|
|
Again, this depends on what the courts say is a "derived work". It
|
|
seems likely that use of data structure layouts does not constitute
|
|
derivation, at the very least, if you compile without symbols.
|
|
|
|
With the LGPL, there is a special exemption for data structure layouts.
|
|
|
|
- When is a dynamic link a dynamic link
|
|
|
|
The FSF's legal documents never use this term, so it's definition
|
|
doesn't matter.
|
|
|
|
- Interface issues. If I build a system that can use an LGPL
|
|
shared library I don't have to give a damn about the LGPL -
|
|
It hasn't got any gnu code in it and if people choose to
|
|
plug the two together its up to them.
|
|
|
|
If you distribute .o files (but not fully linked executables) which
|
|
only include data structure layouts and short (< 10 lines) functions
|
|
from header files, then you are on safe ground, with an LGPL'd
|
|
library.

Indeed, it may be necessary to address these issues in a broad way.
|
|
However, it becomes easy to paint yourself into a corner by specifying legal
|
|
interpretations for each and every techinical convention. It is easy
|
|
to see why the FSF has avoided this level of detail.
|
|
|
|
The examples you cite are specific to the C/object-module
|
|
world. These terms don't apply so well to reflective development environments.
|
|
|
|
Developers should be able to tune the L/GPL to their personal intent, making
|
|
minor exceptions just as the FSF does. I think the way to do this is with
|
|
explicit agreements with users.

For UNIX, I can't help you, however there is Ms_DOS source code around

Thanks for the note on the Berne Convention. I won't even begin to try to
|
|
dispute your obviously superior knowledge of international Copyright.
|
|
|
|
Implicit copyright in the US, however, has been a reality since at least
|
|
the mid 80's. It came in with the last revision of the US Copyright code.

Simple. My machine at home runs Linux. My machine in the office runs DOS.
|
|
The Linux box isn't networked, while the DOS box is. Which means I end up
|
|
carrying piles and piles of floppies around whenever I need something at
|
|
home off the Internet. Being able to use ext2 on those floppies (or a

UMSDOS driver for DOS) would simplify things a LOT.

NOTE: FOLLOWUPS SET TO alt.config
|
|
|
|
Since the Linux version of iD Software's game DOOM! was recently
|
|
released, the comp.os.linux.misc and comp.os.linux.help groups have
|
|
been inundated with questions about Linux DOOM!. On the other hand,
|
|
people seem hesitant to take Linux-specific questions to
|
|
alt.games.doom, probably since most people reading that group are
|
|
unfamiliar with Linux, and since the S/N ratio in that group is rather
|
|
low.
|
|
|
|
Hence this is a formal proposal to create alt.games.doom.linux. As by
|
|
Altnet guidelines, this is presented for discussion in alt.config
|
|
ONLY.

I don't agree at all. I had Linux on a 386DX40 with 8 meg & normal
|
|
video and when I upgraded to 486-66 with 16 meg & VESA I was even a
|
|
bit disappointed that the FEEL of using Linux - under X Windows - did
|
|
not change very much. Of course programs that took a long time on the
|
|
386 were *much* faster on the 486, but starting utilities, compiling
|
|
*short* programs & stuff like that, really went smooth already on
|
|
the 386.
|
|
|
|
So unles you want to bend your machine under heavy work, the 386/40
|
|
with 8 meg should be more than sufficient.

If you have access to WWW, you could look at
|
|
http://peipa.essex.ac.uk/html/linux-thinkpad.html
|
|
you'll find a lot of info on Linux on a Thinkpad 750;
|
|
it also tells you that there is a Slackware 2.0 compatible bootdisk at
|
|
ftp://peipa.essex.ac.uk/pub/tp750/tp-bare.gz
|
|
|
|
Hope this helped,

Subject: OPENLOOK/XView ....Font Problems
|
|
Date: Thu, 15 Sep 1994 14:34:06 GMT
|

|
|

|
|
|
Help. I have installed the latest Slackware distributions (from sunsite) of
|
|
XFree and XView. Everything is OK for XFree but my OPENLOOK ie Xview can't
|
|
find the proper fonts. It is looking for -b$h-lucidia........ fonts. I've
|
|
checked the fonts.alias files and have noticed that these fonts are already
|
|
aliased in the 75dpi directory. But still, all XView applications, including
|
|
olvwm (grrrrr) crash because they can't find there fonts. I've done mkfontsdir a
|
|
nd xset fp rehash and all that stuff but to no avail.
|
|
|
|
I noticed that the xview and olvwm .rc files use a shell variable called
|
|
$OPENWINHOME. And all menu and font etc references are loaded in relation to
|
|
this. I've looked and looked, but can't find where is var. is set.
|
|
|
|
Is it a Xresource ?
|
|
Where can I set this ?
|
|
Whats up with the fonts ?
|
|
|
|
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I don't think the code is available on the net. It is however
|
|
available in fidonet. I once requested the code from the BBS of
|
|
one of the authors.

Porting should not be too hard. I have been working on a port
|
|
of Binkley 2.59 that has hydra as one of it's file transfer modes.
|
|
There it works, although I have not had too much chance to test it
|
|
yet.

Subject: __IO_stderr_ undefined linking libX11
|
|
Date: Thu, 15 Sep 1994 14:57:03 GMT
|
|
|
|
when compiling and linking a program that uses X11 functions, the linker
|
|
reports that some modules in the X11 lib reference symbol __IO_stderr_
|
|
The question is simple: what is it, and were is it defined?
|
|
(My 'solution' of defining a global FILE * __IO_stderr_ = stderr ; works,
|
|
but is a wild guess: if no actual reference to __IO_stderr_ is ever made
|
|
while the program is running I wouldn't know if my guess was wrong)
|
|
|
|
anyone?
|
|
|
|
Michel.
|
|
|
|
* This is no X11 question: i never get that linker error on our sun
