Hi folks,


I've set up an cvs->git mirror for expat [1] and also and automatic
import of certain distro's patches [2] (especially debian-based)
in the oss [3] project.

I could also set up an automatic notification on new commits
or even automatically post new commits if you like.

Subject: [Expat-discuss] Question about MIT X11 license
Message-ID: <!&!AAAAAAAAAAAYAAAAAAAAAGbyiMYBX0xHpYdnAZHZpJXCgAAAEAAAANSV+qinWFRMqaCDHOyaIG8BAAAAAA==@grupomaessa.com>

Hi,

 

We are developing a commercial application and we would like to use Expat.

The MIT X11 license ?permits reuse within proprietary software on the
condition that the license is distributed with that software?.

The problem with including the whole text of the license in each copy of our
product is that, in our context, the client would be afraid of using our
product if he/she reads the paragraph of the license saying that ?THE
SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND (
)?.

 

Our query is:

?Is it possible to omit the aforementioned paragraph when distributing the
text of the MIT X11 license?

 

Thanks in advance for your kind reply,

No.

You *should*, however, explain that this license applies to a
component of the application, not the application as a whole, which
you're free to warrant as you see fit.

What sorts of patches are being pushed by the distros?  Are they all
packaging-related changes, or other things?

Most of the changes are generic fixes. See:

BTW: just published a new paper on oss-qm and automatic imports:

There has been no release of expat with the fixes for CVE-2009-3720 and 
CVE-2009-3560 so we are patching those in to Fedora currently.

Thats exactly one of the points where OSS-QM comes into play ...

BTW: IMHO it would be better if you'd maintain the distro stuff
directly in the source tree via git, so applying the patches
as separate commits and adding the specfiles (maybe in a subdir)
at the end.
