ping... 16 s/Affero/Artifex/ (this seems to be an indication of confusion to me) Additional: There also is no file named PUBLIC. (In reply to Rhialto from comment #5) > ping... > > 16 s/Affero/Artifex/ (this seems to be an indication of confusion to me) No, the company that owns the copyright to Ghostscript is called Artifex Software Inc (www.artifex.com), the license is the Affero General Public License, as originally defined by the Affero project (www.affero.org) but note that we are using version 3 of that license, sometimes referred to as the Gnu Affero General Public License v3. If you think we have confused the two somewhere, then please point out where, exactly we've referenced the wrong organisation. > Additional: There also is no file named PUBLIC. Apologies I'm afraid we ommitted to update the status of this report. Please see the folloing commits: Fix greeting and include COPYING http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=0371b3cef0e28fa603437faf983c7be8f2160214 Reword the greeting: http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=db96dc02a83e45d2997315e52e77cb4c283c09ce Tweak PCL/LICENSE: http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=519326a98c1d2172da280305fef0a3a52ddc65bc Add CUPS license: http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=a21912a4c7c2a0cbc79c1a86df77b63bcae850fb We believe this adequately removes any confusion regarding the License under which Ghostscript and the GhostPDL family is supplied, as well as addressing a couple of areas of, essentially, bitrot due to changes in our build system. These commits were included in the current release of the Ghostpdl family, 9.27, and if you install that version you should see the changes. Although I believe this bug should be resolved as 'fixed' I'm leaving it open temporarily in case the owner wanted to do some more work on this. |
