I'm trying to add app-admin/supervisor (http://supervisord.org/) to |
2 |
the tree, but its licensing situation kind of sucks. |
3 |
|
4 |
The file talks about 4 different licenses. |
5 |
|
6 |
1: the Repoze license (which I added to the tree in anticipation of this ebuild) |
7 |
2: a copy of the regular BSD license, should be straightforward |
8 |
4: the ZPL, which we also have |
9 |
|
10 |
The third is this: |
11 |
|
12 |
Medusa was once distributed under a 'free for non-commercial use' |
13 |
license, but in May of 2000 Sam Rushing changed the license to be |
14 |
identical to the standard Python license at the time. The standard |
15 |
Python license has always applied to the core components of Medusa, |
16 |
this change just frees up the rest of the system, including the http |
17 |
server, ftp server, utilities, etc. Medusa is therefore under the |
18 |
following license: |

============================== |

|
38 |
The bit between === and === is the PERMISSIONS AND DISCLAIMER |
39 |
STATEMENT from the CNRI license (which I think is the standard Python |
40 |
license 10 years ago), but the CNRI license explicitly names the CWI |
41 |
and Stichting Mathematisch Centrum (i.e. doesn't talk about |
42 |
<Organization> or <Owner> like some of the other licenses). |
43 |
|
44 |
Any clues on what to do with this would be greatly appreciated. |
