Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2014-04-06 16:28:46 UTC
Created attachment 374396 [details]
System/DemoLicense.int

Currently labelled "as-is" which is not correct.

There is an EULA in System/DemoLicense.int, see attachment. Please note that redistribution is explicitly forbidden, so we need mirror restriction (and SRC_URI needs to be updated to an upstream URI).

Reading it again, I don't know why I came to that conclusion. In clause 3 I find the following: "You may, however, exchange the Demo Software at no charge among other end users and distribute them to others over the Internet, on magazine cover disks, or otherwise for free." IANAL, but I think that this will allow distribution via Gentoo mirrors.

Otherwise, the text of DemoLicense.int is identical to ut2003-demo, except for one obvious typo ("out lawyers" instead of "our lawyers" ;-) and a different publisher (Atari instead of Infogrames). I've therefore changed the ebuild to LICENSE="ut2003-demo".
