Question to Daniel Shawul (egbb license)
Posted: Thu Oct 02, 2008 8:29 pm
Hi Daniel,
I hope you are reading this forum. Thanks for your great work on egbb.
The readme text of scorpio suggests that the egbb bitbases and egbb.so fall under the same open source license as scorpio. However as far as I can tell it does not *explicitly* say this and since egbb is distributed separately from scorpio the situation is ambiguous. The source code for egbb available at http://dshawul.googlepages.com/home does not contain any license text.
This presents a legal problem for Linux distributions which cannot include software for which the license is unclear.
Would it be possible for you to make the license for egbb (both the data and the probe code) explicit?
Best regards,
Michel
