I think we should include the full message of the clarification, see below. @Licenses team: This indeed looks like a candidate for MISC-FREE to me. ----- 8< ----- 8< ----- From: Mark Lord <mlord@pobox.com> To: 273338@bugs.debian.org Subject: symlinks utility: license policy Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2005 08:54:57 -0500 Hi, My "symlinks" utility pre-dates the "open source licensing" fad by a number of years. Just to clarify, this is 100% freeware, written entirely by myself. The intent is to use it to detect missing/obsolete symlink targets on an installed distro, before creating the "gold" (or "final") release discs. Use and distribute and modify as you (or anyone else) sees fit. There have no formal restrictions or requirements whatsoever regarding distribution of either binaries or source code, whether modified or original.

No objections raised, so I have committed a new license "symlinks" and added it to MISC-FREE. I have also updated LICENSE of the package. Thanks for reporting! |
