Debian Bug #487143 [1] was filed against gnustep-gui, which points out
that some of the included images are licensed in a way that prevents
modification, and also prevents use for anything other than developing
free OpenStep applications.
[1] http://bugs.debian.org/487143
This presents a problem since Debian requires that everything in the
distribution, including images, sounds, data files, documentation, be
freely modifiable, and so this could result in GNUstep being removed
from Debian.
I should note that this license only applies to certain images: namely
the images used for drawing various GUI controls such as checkboxes,
etc.
Is it possible to get these images relicensed?
Thanks
Hubert
P.S. The link listed in the license:
http://www.gnustep.org/UserSuite/UserSuite.html doesn't work.
P.P.S. There are additional reasons that I believe that the current
license is unreasonable. If anyone is interested, ask me.
