Subject: Re: packaging eEMU for Debian distribution

Fernando,

Thanks for your interest in the Free eEMU software.

As you probably know already, the Free eEMU server is writen in perl, while
the xeb browser is in Tcl/Tk, messaging agents are written in C. As long as
your modifications concern directory and file path modifications as you
indicated in your mail, it is OK with us for you to package Free eEMU for
Debian Linux.

Regards,

Jarra Voleynik

Subject: packaging eEMU for Debian distribution


>Hello,
> I am a GNU/Linux Debian developer, and am interested in packaging
>eEMU for Debian. This would mean distributing it in binary and source form,
>modified as necessary for Debian particular install paths and things like
>this. The problem is that the License file that comes with eEMU says that
>"Redistribution and use in source and binary forms are permitted provided
>that this entire copyright notice is duplicated (...)", but does not seem
to
>allow making modifications to the original source, neither distributing
such
>modified sources/binaries.

>By the end of the License file you say that "No charge, other than an
>"at-cost" distribution fee, may be charged for copies, derivations, or
>distributions of this material (...)"; so it looks like you allow
>"derivations" of the software to be distributed, but don't express this
