However, it does not include the work's System +</I>><i> Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs +</I>><i> which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are +</I>><i> not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes +</I>><i> interface definition files associated with source files for the work, +</I>><i> and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked +</I>><i> subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as +</I>><i> by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms +</I>><i> and other parts of the work. +</I>><i> ---- +</I>><i> So it wouldn't require you to release sophie source code, since you are +</I>><i> only using it unmodified. It is not part of mageia-app-db. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Under the heading "How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs", +</I>><i> it suggests attaching a brief copyright notice at the beginning of +</I>><i> each source file, with a pointer to where the full notice is found. +</I>><i> Also adding info on how to contact you by "electronic and paper mail" +</I>><i> +</I>><i> See <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html</A> +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Regards +</I>><i> André +</I> +Thanks, this is the license we finally chose. + +I added a LICENSE file at the project's root. We'll try to add a copyright +notice at the beginning of most source files. + +Regards + +Samuel +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000083.html">[Mageia-webteam] Need help for mageia-app-db's licence +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000085.html">[Mageia-webteam] Designing mageia-app-db's homepage +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#84">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#84">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#84">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#84">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-webteam">More information about the Mageia-webteam +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
