Hello Miriam,

I am most interested by your intent to make sankore a Debian official
package.

I copy your message to dev@abuledu.org, since some people there have
already done some preliminary work, for example  delimiting the dfsg-free
subset of the upstream package.

Best regards,			Georges.

I am interested by this ITP as well. A few months have passed, how is
the work going so far?

Please, if someone tries them, leave a comment regarding what works
and what doesn't.

Hi,

It seems that Open-Sankoré has been relicensed to GPL v3 [1]. I'll
still have to carefully go through the license, but it seems that the
SSL exception is in all of the headers. I'll try to create a newer
version of the package (older one I have them in [2], and even older
in [3]), and if it works okay for me and is stable enough I might
consider finally uploading it to Debian, aftyer re-checking licenses
again.

Greetings,
Miry

Hi!!

Thanks!!!! :)

All is left is to review debian/copyright so that includes all the
copyrights, specially all those from third parties... sigh :)

If any of you test in your computers the packages in git, please tell
me if there are any issues. It should compile in squeeze too (I
haven't upgraded compat to 9 yet because of that, and I added the
patch needed for backwards compatibility with squeeze).

Greetings and lots of thanks,
Miry

Hi,

I've noticed that you have a repository with a custom version of Qt
for Open-Sankoré [1], In what ways does this custom version diverges
from the standard version of Qt? Is it neccesary to use this version
of Qt for any reason, or linking the project against the standard Qt
library in Debian might be problematic in some way?

Thanks in advance,
Miry

Hi all,

Or is this just to have a Qt library at hand when building for win32
or macosx (in case there is a Mac version)?

Hi,

the custom version is based on the standard release of Qt4.7. On linux the
only change we made is fixed on the Qt4.8.0 version so we embed them only
on debian that doesn't provide those libraries.

For  mac and windows the usage of the custom libraries is recommended
because of some little changes on https protocols and gui refresh.

Nice one,
Claudio

Hi all,

today I have had a quick look at the fonts shipped with Sankore-3.1 in
the folder

   Sankore-3.1/resources/customizations/fonts

Only 3 of them can be packaged/found in Debian. The other fonts cause
issues with the Debian free software guidelines [1].

With this mail I want to raise awareness on those issues by raising
some green, some yellow and a red flag.

Green Flags
-----------
ec_cour.ttf (Ecolier Court, Open Font License), already in Debian
ecl_cour.ttf (Ecolier Lignes Court, Open Font License), already in Debian

AndBasR.ttf (Andika Basic), I substitute that by the Andika font as
found in Debian package fonts-sil-andika.


Yellow Flags
------------
For the below fonts I could not find a proper upstream (the makers of
the fonts) on the internet. So, the license remains unclear. On
download sites [2] I found: only use for non-commercial use (however,
my French is not so good, so I may be mistaken here). This hurts
DFSG-6, as in Debian there may only be software that can be used for
any purpose.

AlphoneticGB.ttf
ALPHONET.TTF
Cursive standard.ttf
Cursive standard Bold.ttf
SCRIPTCA.TTF
SCRIPTCO.TTF
ScriptEcole2.ttf

The fonts below can be obtained from [3] (upstream), but they are
licensed under the CC-by-NC-ND 2.0 [4]. This license is not compliant
with the Debian free software guidelines (no commercial use -> DFSG-6,
no derivatives -> DFSG-3).

ec_cp.ttf
ec_cp_pt.ttf
ec.ttf
ecl.ttf
eclcopt.ttf
ec_co_pt.ttf


Red Flag
--------
The font below is called Gino School Script. I could not find a
license for it, but I found a site [5] where you can buy this font for
99,--€. So I guess, you better remove that from Github, as it seems to
be a completely non-free font.

GinSSB60.ttf


Consequences on Open-Sankore in Debian
--------------------------------------
The Debian package will for now be shipped without the named fonts. My
(and probably also Miry's) questions are: can you substitute those
fonts by fully free fonts? Where will those fonts be missing in
Sankore and where will the user notice that?


light+love,
Mike

Hello Mike,

Thank you for this feedback.

We didn't do directly the clearing of licences regarding the fonts so if there are any specific questions, I can put you in touch with the person from the french government that took care of it. Although, it is confirmed that they have indeed chosen fonts that are not fully compliant even though they have obtained the authorisations to distribute them by the authors.

Best regards,

Cyril

Hi Cyril,

Sorry for the delay on my side. I had to see to some private issues.

Please yes, get me in contact with the person who had the task of
clearing the licenses.

Greets+Thanks,
Mike (who really wants to see Sankoré in Debian jessie)

retitle 673322 ITP: openboard -- interactive digital whiteboard software for teaching
stop

One of the upstream of opensankore has forked the project[1], and is
committed to release a full dfsg-free version of it. Therefore, after
agreeing with Miriam and Mike that openboard is way more interesting to
us, I am retitling this bug as an ITP on openboard.
