3
4 I would like to write an ebuild for some software that is CeDILL-1.1
5 licensed, but the license is not in the portage tree. The CeDILL-2
6 license is in the portage tree.
7
8 I had a chat with robbat in #gentoo-dev on freenode about importing this
9 license into the tree. He did not see any problems with it, but he asked
10 me to send my request to the mailing list. The IRC transcript is below:
11
12 02:42 <+gentoofan> ulm: ping
13 02:43 <+gentoofan> I am told that you know a good deal about licensing.
14 I am thinking of writing an ebuild for some software licensed
15 CeCILL-1.1, which is not in portage. The terms of the license worry me:
16 http://paste.pocoo.org/show/550666/
17 02:44 <+gentoofan> In particular, it seems like I am giving up my rights
18 as a US citizen by agreeing to their license: "13.1 The Agreement is
19 governed by French law." "In the event of a conflict as
20 regards construction, the French version shall be
21 deemed authentic."
22 02:45 <+gentoofan> The software is behind a download wall that requires
23 registration and an agreement to their license, even though all I want
24 to do is write an ebuild. Should I be worried about being hauled to a
25 court in France if there is ever a dispute arising from
26 the creation of the ebuild?
27 02:45 <@robbat2> gentoofan, that's no different that many other EULAs
28 that state any lawsuits involving the license must be brought in California
29 02:46 <@antarus> gentoofan: I presume we aren't distributing it?
30 02:46 <+gentoofan> robbat2: I prefer California to France. Password
31 hashing is illegal in France.
32 02:46 <@antarus> I only need to agree to the license to use the
33 software, or to redistribute it, not to write an ebuild ;p
34 02:47 <+gentoofan> antarus: I seem to also need to agree to download it. :/
35 02:47 <@robbat2> the "Adobe" license says: California if in
36 Canada/US/Mexico ; Japan if in Asia ; Netherlands for all other
37 jurisdictions
38 02:48 <@robbat2> yes, 3.1, if you download it or distribute it, you are
39 bound by the rest of the terms of the license
40 02:48 <+gentoofan> This is their site. It only permits people to
41 download who agree: http://www.nemo-ocean.eu/
42 02:49 <+gentoofan> They distribute by password protected SVN. :/
43 02:49 <@antarus> why do you want to use it then? ;p
44 02:49 <+gentoofan> antarus: A professor I know wants it installed.
45 02:49 <+gentoofan> You can say this is academic politics. -_-
46 02:49 <@robbat2> the license is already in the tree
47 02:49 <@antarus> oh I am familiar ;p
48 02:49 <+gentoofan> Version 1.1?
49 02:49 <@robbat2> v 2
50 02:50 <@antarus> I blame france for everything
51 02:50 <@robbat2> but see clause 12.3
52 02:50 <@robbat2> of v1.1
53 02:50 <@robbat2> that says you can elect to use v2
54 02:51 <+gentoofan> Does Gentoo policy permit people to relicense stuff
55 in the portage tree under a more restrictive license if the license
56 permits it? I would have thought that people would want the original
57 license terms.
58 02:51 <@antarus> license syntax supports ||
59 02:52 <@robbat2> one sec, i'm compare v1.1 to v2
60 02:52 <@robbat2> (both ulm and myself are in the licenses team)
61 02:52 <+gentoofan> robbat2: Ah, cool. :)

81 02:58 <@robbat2> the only bit of legal significence is v1.1 called the

83 impact is the same (basically LGPL vs GPL)
84 02:58 <@robbat2> it's adding a new license, so you need to email it to
85 the gentoo-dev list
86 02:58 <@robbat2> in your email, note that it's similar to the v2 license
87 02:58 <@robbat2> that's already in the tree
88 02:59 <+gentoofan> robbat2: Okay. Will do.

105 This Agreement is a free software license that is the result of discussions
106 between its authors in order to ensure compliance with the two main
107 principles guiding its drafting:
108 - firstly, its conformity with French law, both as regards the law of
109 torts and intellectual property law, and the protection that it offers
110 to authors and the holders of economic rights over software.
111 - secondly, compliance with the principles for the distribution of free
112 software: access to source codes, extended user-rights.
113
114 The following bodies are the authors of this license CeCILL (Ce : CEA, C :
115 CNRS, I : INRIA, LL : Logiciel Libre):
116
117 Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique - CEA, a public scientific, technical and
118 industrial establishment, having its principal place of business at 31-33

133
134
135 The purpose of this Free Software Licensing Agreement is to grant users the
136 right to modify and redistribute the software governed by this license
137 within the framework of an "open source" distribution model.
138
139 The exercising of these rights is conditional upon certain obligations for
140 users so as to ensure that this status is retained for subsequent
141 redistribution operations.
142
143 As a counterpart to the access to the source code and rights to copy, modify
144 and redistribute granted by the license, users are provided only with a
145 limited warranty and the software's author, the holder of the economic
146 rights, and the successive licensors only have limited liability.
147
148 In this respect, it is brought to the user's attention that the risks
149 associated with loading, using, modifying and/or developing or reproducing
150 the software by the user given its nature of Free Software, that may
151 mean that it is complicated to manipulate, and that also therefore means
152 that it is reserved for developers and experienced professionals having
153 in-depth computer knowledge. Users are therefore encouraged to load and test
154 the Software's suitability as regards their requirements in conditions
155 enabling the security of their systems and/or data to be ensured and, more
156 generally, to use and operate it in the same conditions of security.
157 This Agreement may be freely reproduced and published, provided it is
158 not altered, and that no Articles are either added or removed herefrom.
159
160 This Agreement may apply to any or all software for which the holder of the
161 economic rights decides to submit the operation thereof to its provisions.

464 scientific and technical know-how at the time when the Software was
465 distributed did not enable all possible uses to be tested and verified, nor
466 for the presence of any or all faults to be detected. In this respect, the
467 Licensee's attention has been drawn to the risks associated with loading,
468 using, modifying and/or developing and reproducing the Software that are
469 reserved for experienced users.
470
471 The Licensee shall be responsible for verifying, by any or all means, the
472 product's suitability for its requirements, its due and proper functioning,
473 and for ensuring that it shall not cause damage to either persons or
474 property.
475
476 9.2. The Licensor hereby represents, in good faith, that it is entitled to
477 grant all the rights on the Software (including in particular the rights
478 set forth in Article 5 hereof over the Software).
479
480 9.3. The Licensee acknowledges that the Software is supplied "as is" by the
481 Licensor without any or all other express or tacit warranty, other than
482 that provided for in Article 9.2 and, in particular, without any or all
483 warranty as to its market value, its secured, innovative or relevant
484 nature.
485
486 Specifically, the Licensor does not warrant that the Software is free from
487 any or all error, that it shall operate continuously, that it shall be
488 compatible with the Licensee's own equipment and its software
489 configuration, nor that it shall meet the Licensee's requirements.
490
491 9.4. The Licensor does not either expressly or tacitly warrant that the
492 Software does not infringe any or all third party intellectual right
493 relating to a patent, software or to any or all other property right.
494 Moreover, the Licensor shall not hold the Licensee harmless against any or
495 all proceedings for infringement that may be instituted in respect of the
496 use, modification and redistribution of the Software. Nevertheless, should
497 such proceedings be instituted against the Licensee, the Licensor shall
498 provide it with technical and legal assistance for its defense. Such
499 technical and legal assistance shall be decided upon on a case-by-case
500 basis between the relevant Licensor and the Licensee pursuant to a
501 memorandum of understanding. The Licensor disclaims any or all liability as
502 regards the Licensee's use of the Software's name. No warranty shall be
503 provided as regards the existence of prior rights over the name of the
