Hi, having a look for the GPL license/version, orgmode is distributed with, couldn't see it at your page. Shouldn't I have overlooked it, suggest an item at your homepage. Thanks Andreas Röhler -- https://code.launchpad.net/s-x-emacs-werkstatt/ http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~a-roehler/python-mode/python-mode.el/
Isn't it so, that no license means "All Rights Reserved"? Not sure, bu I think in Germany it is... Anyway, if you receive Org-mode with emacs, it has just the same license as emacs. It has a license to kill though: C-h f org-export-kill-licensed-text RET Sebastian

In the site is written: ---------------------------------------- It's free! Org is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software] [open source software]] , it is free, like Emacs. ------------------------------------------ I think that this is enough. If we think that an explicit link to the GPL is necessary we can link: [[http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html][free]] like Emacs or [[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html#GPL][free (GPL)]] like [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs]] Interestingly enough also the GNU Emacs web page does NOT have an *explicit* link to the licence of Emacs itself neither to "free software" ;-) cheers, Giovanni
This is the Carsten-AI speeking. Link to GPL on homepage established...
Thank you.

I see Carsten has added a link to the GPL. However, I think it's
worthwhile specifically saying which *version* of the GPL.
This might seem a trivial matter. However, I am involved with another
project where the maintainer moved the licence from GPL V2 to GPL V3,
with the best of intentions. A large commercial company wanted to
contribute considerable resources to the project, but they were unhappy
with the V3 licence and wanted to continue with V2. As a result
considerable effort was wasted in getting everyone who had contributed
patches to the V3 version agreeing to them being "backported" to the V2
licence.

I did that with org-info.js lately after reading a bit about GPL-3 and seeing this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5G7FU5j2Uc Sounds like it is good thing, even a neccessary one. Sebastian

What about to link directly to the license text applying? Which should provide for the case, people looking for org-mode don't have much time to spent for this or another reason. Anyway, understood it's an org-mode for the relaxed. :) Andreas > > On Jun 26, 2009, at 2:31 PM, Giovanni Ridolfi wrote: > >> >> --- Ven 26/6/09, Sebastian Rose <sebastian_rose@gmx.de> ha scritto: >>> >>> Anyway, if you receive Org-mode with emacs, it has just the >>> same license >>> as emacs. >> >> In the site is written: >> ---------------------------------------- >> It's free! >> Org is >> [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software] >> [open source software]] >> >> , it is free, like Emacs. >> ------------------------------------------ >> >> I think that this is enough. >> >> If we think that an explicit link to the GPL is necessary >> we can link: >> >> [[http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html][free]] like Emacs >> >> or >> >> [[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html#GPL][free (GPL)]] like >> >> [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs]] >> >> >> Interestingly enough also the GNU Emacs web page does NOT have >> an *explicit* link to the licence of Emacs itself >> neither to "free software" ;-) >> >> cheers, >> Giovanni >> >> >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Emacs-orgmode mailing list >> Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. >> Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org >> http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode > > > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode >
