The license isn't dfsg-compliant. Reason: 3D Slicer license — export-control and anti-copyleft contribution clauses The 3D Slicer Software License Agreement, used by the 3D Slicer medical-imaging platform from Brigham and Women's Hospital, is DFSG-incompatible on two independent grounds: 1. Export controls and compliance with laws (Part B, Sections 4 & 7). Part B §4 conditions the copyright grant on the licensee's compliance with "all applicable governmental laws, regulations and orders, including without limitation those relating to export and import control." Part B §7 makes any non-compliant use automatically revoke "all rights granted to you." Tying the copyright licence to statutory compliance turns a local legal violation (e.g. exporting to a sanctioned country) into a copyright infringement and makes redistribution contingent on the recipient's jurisdiction. Debian has historically rejected such clauses as violating DFSG #1 (Free Redistribution) and DFSG #6 (No Discrimination Against Persons or Fields of Endeavor). 2. Anti-copyleft contribution warranty (Part A, Section 6). Part A §6 requires every contributor to warrant that their contribution "DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY CODE THAT REQURES [sic] OR PRESCRIBES AN 'OPEN SOURCE LICENSE' FOR DERIVATIVE WORKS (by way of non-limiting example, the GNU General Public License...)". Although Part A reads as a Contributor License Agreement, the licence bundles it into the distribution terms; if a downstream modifier is legally construed as making a "Contribution", the clause amounts to an outright ban on combining the work with GPL-licensed (or other copyleft) code. That violates DFSG #3 (Derived Works) and DFSG #9 (License Must Not Contaminate Other Software). references: - url: https://slicer.org/LICENSE title: Canonical 3D Slicer License v1.0 text (slicer.org) - url: https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/main/License.txt title: 3D Slicer License v1.0 text (upstream repository) - url: https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2015/11/msg00026.html title: debian-legal discussion of the CISST licence (a derivative of this licence) In the files itself you can read this isn't dual licesed. It contains somme parts under Apache 2 and somme other parts under 3-C-slicer license. Please discuss it with upstream how they can fix the license problem. For the file Files: Libs/CommandLineModules/Documentation/xs3p.xsl you mentioned it under a DSTC license. The text you show in d/copyright is n't the license text itself.it only descries how you can find the right license. Please improve this statement. For the license Paraview-1.2 you show only a link to an external license statement. The file debian/copyright must contain the real complete license text except the licenses shipped with /usr/share/common-licenses. Please improve this part, too. Thanks | View |
