app-text/cpdf is under the "Coherent-Graphics" license [1]. Is this |
2 |
redistributable on Gentoo mirrors? |

|
4 |
The key sentences of the license seem to be these: |
5 |
|
6 |
"By installing, copying or otherwise using this Software, you agree |
7 |
to be bound by the terms of this license agreement." |
8 |
|
9 |
"You may not use or distribute this Software or any derivative |
10 |
works in any form for commercial purposes." |
11 |
|
12 |
Would the first imply that the Gentoo Foundation and all mirror |
13 |
operators must become a party to the agreement? |
14 |
|
15 |
Also they do not define what they mean by "commercial purposes". Does |
16 |
a non-for-profit organisation making money from ads on their site |
17 |
already qualify? |
