Message-Id: <E1kTAM5-0002v6-Ra@fasolo.debian.org>


Hi,

unfortunately we have to reject this package:

This package contains non-free code copied from RFC 3550.
RFC 3550 was written in 2003, prior to the modifications to the relicensing
of RFCs in 2005 to make the code written in RFC licensed under an open
source license. Debian confirmed this non-free interpretation in bug 92810.

Additionally, in this package, there are several files that have a
copyright header but no explicit license attached, other than "all
rights reserved".  Two even state "this code may not be copied or used in
any form without permission from Live Networks, Inc."

Installed by liblivemedia-dev:
- usr/include/livemedia/HMAC_SHA1.hh ("this code may not...")
- usr/include/livemedia/HMAC_hash.hh ("this code may not...")
- usr/include/livemedia/liveMedia_version.hh (just version #defines)
- usr/include/groupsock/groupsock_version.hh (just version #defines)
- usr/include/UsageEnvironment/UsageEnvironment_version.hh (just version #defines)
- usr/include/BasicUsageEnvironment/BasicUsageEnvironment_version.hh (just version #defines)

orig.tar.gz (excludes files mentioned above):
- live/liveMedia/HMAC_SHA1.cpp ("this code may not...")
- live/liveMedia/SRTPCryptographicContext.cpp ("this code may not...")
- live/liveMedia/rtcp_from_spec.{c,h} is copied from RFC 3550 and draft-ietf-avt-rtp-new-11 which were written prior to 2005 and are thus non-free per bug 92810.
- live/mediaServer/version.hh (All rights reserved, but only version #defines)

Dear Debian maintainers,

I've been in touch with Henning Schulzrinne, who is the author of the
code in question, and he agreed to explicitly put the code under the
3-clause BSD license. That should resolve all doubt about whether
liblivemedia from live555 can be included in Debian.

Henning, could you please reply-all to this email with the same text
that you sent me yesterday? (Actually, could you make one small
change: Add a 1-line paragraph "Copyright 2003 Henning Schulzrinne"
before "Redistribution and use..." just so that your name is in the
declaration itself?)

As the author of RFC 3550 Appendix A.7, I agree to license it under the
3-clause BSD license:
