- Copyright:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- * cdrecord -- Record data on a CD-Recorder
- Copyright (c) 1995-2004 J. Schilling
- License: GPLv2 with the following additional requirement:
- - You may not modify certain copyright messages in cdrecord.c
- See cdrecord.c for further information.
-
- - You may (with a few exceptions) not modify the location of the
- configuration file /etc/default/cdrecord.
- See defaults.c for further information.
-
- cdrecord.c says (but see below):
- ------------------------------------------
- | Warning: you are not allowed to modify or to remove the
- | Copyright and version printing code below!
- | See also GPL º 2 subclause c)
- |
- | If you modify cdrecord you need to include additional version
- | printing code that:
- |
- | - Clearly states that the current version is an
- | inofficial (modified) version and thus may have bugs
- | that are not present in the original.
- |
- | - Print your support e-mail address and tell people that
- | you will do complete support for this version of
- | cdrecord.
- |
- | Or clearly state that there is absolutely no support
- | for the modified version you did create.
- |
- | - Tell the users not to ask the original author for
- | help.
- |
- | This limitation definitely also applies when you use any other
- | cdrecord release together with libscg-0.6 or later, or when you
- | use any amount of code from cdrecord-1.11a17 or later.
- | In fact, it applies to any version of cdrecord, see also
- | GPL Preamble, subsection 6.
- |
- | I am sorry for the inconvenience but I am forced to do this because
- | some people create inofficial branches. These branches create
- | problems but the initiators do not give support and thus cause the
- | development of the official cdrecord versions to slow down because
- | I am loaded with unneeded work.
- |
- | Please note that this is a memorandum on how I interpret the GPL.
- | If you use/modify/redistribute cdrecord, you need to accept it
- | this way.
- |
- |
- | The above statement is void if there has been neither a new version
- | of cdrecord nor a new version of star from the original author
- | within more then a year.

- For that Andreas Metzler had a mail conversation with Joerg, the last
- and important mail is included below, except an unrelated part I
- removed. It's in German, translation follows after the original mail.

-
- Darf geaendert werden. und ich habe auch absichtlich ein "Loch" gelassen, so

- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- And now the English translation of the mail above. Only content:
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Andreas asks:
- Let me ask again: linuxcheck() is not restricted with
- "you are not allowed to modify or to remove the Copyright and version
- printing code below!"?
-
- J÷rg answers:
- It is allowed to change this and I have a "gap" there intentionally, so
- one can change the uname() check with an automated patch.
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Thats not a Debian-specific license and it only leaves the version
- printing stuff in cdrecord.c. Which is allowed from GPL.
-
- defaults.c says:
- ------------------------------------------
- | WARNING you are only allowed to change this filename if you also
- | change the documentation and add a statement that makes clear
- | where the official location of the file is why you did choose a
- | nonstandard location and that the nonstandard location only refers
- | to unofficial cdrecord versions.
- |
- | I was forced to add this because some people change cdrecord without
- | rational reason and then publish the result. As those people
- | don't contribute work and don't give support, they are causing extra
- | work for me and this way slow down the cdrecord development.
