Subject: Bug#280864: turck-mmcache: linking against php4 violates license Newsgroups: gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.rc Date: 2004-11-12 05:27:10 GMT (5 years, 12 weeks, 5 days, 18 hours and 22 minutes ago) Package: turck-mmcache Severity: serious Hi, Turck-mmcache is GPL'd. PHP4's license is incompatible with the GPL. By distributing binaries of turck-mmcache linked against php4, we are violating turck-mmcache's license. In order to distribute this, we must obtain the author's (and all other copyright holders) permission to link against not only php4, but all the things that php4 links against that are incompatible w/ the GPL (openssl comes to mind). In its current state, without an exception clause or license change, turck-mmcache does not appear suitable for release with sarge. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) |
