old BSD license #1

Open onlyjob opened 9 years ago

onlyjob commented 9 years ago

Files src/crypt_client.c and ntirpc/rpcsvc/crypt.x are licensed under "BSD-4-clause" (old BSD) license. Unfortunately this GPL-incompatible license is universally deprecated. It is not recognised as DFSG-compatible license hence this file can not be included to Debian etc.

Please consider removing those files or re-license 'em under "new" BSD (aka BSD-3-clause) license if copyright holder agrees with that:

Same applies to ntirpc/misc/socket.h except that its copyright is ambiguous...

the files referenced here have been removed or replaced in upstream ntirpc/duplex-12

I've force pushed duplex-12 from upstream to here. Hopefully that will resolve the license issues.

Would it be possible to prepare a release for "duplex-12" please? I'm not sure which branch is authoritative... I'll review licenses once new release of ntirpc becomes available...

Also it would be nice to document differences from "tirpc" somewhere...

By the way where is "upstream" for "duplex-12"? Where "duplex-12" was taken from?
