Although the library sources itself contains no proper license statement, the copyright holder previously agreed to release it under the terms of the GPL. This is documented in the Debian packaging of the labplot package. Please see http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/l/labplot/labplot_1.5.1-1/labplot.copyright for references. Here is a verbatim copy of the statement: This email from Steve Moshier, the copyright owner of cephes, to Helen Faulkner (Debian maintainer of labplot), and other interested parties (labplot and grace authors, grace maintainer and labplot sponsor), confirms that we may release labplot with cephes licensed under the GPL. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: licensing of cephes Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2005 21:48:02 -0500 (EST) From: Steve Moshier To: Helen Faulkner CC: twerner@debian.org, Ben Burton , evgeny@stambulchik.net, Stefan Gerlach References: <41D14354.4040506@yahoo.co.uk> <41D17BE3.3020708@yahoo.co.uk> <41D1FB8D.6030002@yahoo.co.uk> <41D2D8EF.9010702@yahoo.co.uk> <41D41B2E.80508@yahoo.co.uk> On Thu, 30 Dec 2004, Helen Faulkner wrote: > http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines This is fine with me. To acknowedge your terms explicily, how about augmenting the permission to read something like the following -- This software is derived from the Cephes Math Library. It is incorporated herein, and licensed in accordance with DFSG, by permission of the author. If you are trying to get me to suggest a specific form for your license, then from looking at Debian programs such as dpkg it seems to me that you would find the GPL to be appropriate and the permission statement could reference one of the GPL documents instead of DFSG. Alternatively, the packages you have been talking about distributing with Debian presumably come with some sort of licenses and it would make sense to propose those licenses.
