| Quote (crusadingknight @ July 05 2006,13:35) | | This has actually been something which has startled me - the copyright notices on the lua scripts, etc. which form the distribution proper usually just tend to say 'copyright © contributor', without an explicit license. Thus, I've been unable to redistribute any, since I have no idea if I can or can't. (And assume they default to being proprietary IP of their creator.) |
Very much spot on, crusadingknight!
This is exactly what keeps me from redistributing and contributing to DSL. I have tons of mydsl's that I have created for myself, but I refuse to give them away until the mantainers respect what they themselves had stated:| Quote | MyDSL:Acceptable Extension Policy
Extension Submission
All extension submissions must adhere to the following rules:
(..cut..)
* The info file must give us the location of the "source" of this application. Source being defined here as a "known location of origin". If the application being submitted was compiled from source code, then the source code actually used to build the application can be submitted with the extension, or the exact version number and a location where it is available for download must be clearly stated in the info file. Include your ./configure file, and Makefile alongside the extension.
(..cut..)
* Any submission may be denied admission into the MyDSL repository at our discretion. Reasons may include items incomplete, personalized, semi-functional, or deviant from known repositories and sources. |
In my view DSL is not free software, but I use because it works.
