[opensuse-packaging] Licence issue with the Projects > security > nikto package
Working on a w3af packe, I have recognized, that the nikto package have a possible license issue. The plugins have the following licence lines: ####################################################################### # Source: http://cirt.net # This file may only be distributed and used with the full Nikto package. # This file may not be used with any software product without written permission from CIRT, Inc. # (c) 2007 CIRT, Inc., All Rights Reserved. # # NOTE: By sending any database updates to CIRT, Inc., it is assumed that you # grant CIRT, Inc., the unlimited, non-exclusive right to reuse, modify and relicense the changes. ####################################################################### # Notes: # NiktoDB 1.00 ####################################################################### While distribution seem to be ok within the full package, a proprietary license is used. Is this license ok for opensuse?

I have posted it there - but wouldn't it be simpler to reduce the number of mailinglists (opensuse-bar is nearly unused) and to discuss that kind of things in the packaging-list, too? There are so many mailing-lists... Johannes Am 11.01.12 11:07, schrieb Andreas Jaeger:

We don't have too many legal issues to discuss in public, it seems. :-) Well, the legal team is not following opensuse-packaging all the time. There is too much traffic unrelated to legal there. So from *our* perspective it makes sense to have a seperate entry point. cheers, JW- -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de back to ascii! __/ _---|____________\/ \ | 0911 74053-508 say #263A!__/ (____/ /\ (/) | _____________________________/ _/ \_ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, J.Guild, F.Imendoerffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg), Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany SuSE.
