@Frederico: I guess we are through then.
Yes, it seems so (I'm assuming you meant to direct this question to me...).
Thanks for helping with
clarifying the situation (and bringing it up in the first place).
You're welcome! Thanks to you and all the involved people for helping to solve this issue.
For fixing this issue (in terms of closing the bug), I propose this
for downstream (i.e., Debian):o copy bug_784565.mbox [1] into the debian/ folder of the
nx-libs-lite package
Maybe the entire bug log is an overkill... I would include the relevant replies only. For instance: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=40;mbox=yes;bug=784565 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=77;mbox=yes;bug=784565 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=87;mbox=yes;bug=784565 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=102;mbox=yes;bug=784565
o upload some latest release of nx-libs-lite 3.5.0.x to unstable o update debian/copyright accordingly
In the debian/copyright file the license for the original DXPC code should be replaced with the 2-clause BSD license (currently adopted for DXPC) with a comment saying something like:
The original DXPC code used to be available under a license which failed to explicitly grant the permission to modify, but was later retroactively re-licensed under the 2-clause BSD license (see debian/bug_784565_*.mbox for the copyright owners' statements; see <https://bugs.debian.org/784565> for more details)
Moreover, the copyright notice of Gian Filippo Pinzari should be documented in some more appropriate part of the debian/copyright file, associated with the NoMachine license (GPL v2 or later).
o close this bug via debian/changelog
For upstream, I propose this:
o copy bug_784565.mbox into the docs/ folder
Again, I would not include the entire bug log, but only the relevant messages (see above)...
o update copyright information in nxcomp/ subfolder o provide some README or such that shortly explains our last weeks' process o this will be for the upcoming 3.6.x release series of nx-libs
o this should also be backported to the 3.5.x release series
Thanks to everyone involved! Bye.
