Severity: critical
The xref.lisp source has the following license:
;;; Use and copying of this software and the preparation of derivative
;;; works based on this software are permitted, so long as the following
;;; conditions are met:
;;; o The copyright notice and this entire notice are included intact
;;; and prominently carried on all copies and supporting documentation.
;;; o No fees or compensation are charged for use, copies, or
;;; access to this software. You may charge a nominal
;;; distribution fee for the physical act of transferring a
;;; copy, but you may not charge for the program itself.
;;; o If you modify this software, you must cause the modified
;;; file(s) to carry prominent notices (a Change Log)
;;; describing the changes, who made the changes, and the date
;;; of those changes.
;;; o Any work distributed or published that in whole or in part
;;; contains or is a derivative of this software or any part
;;; thereof is subject to the terms of this agreement. The
;;; aggregation of another unrelated program with this software
;;; or its derivative on a volume of storage or distribution
;;; medium does not bring the other program under the scope
;;; of these terms.
;;; o Permission is granted to manufacturers and distributors of
;;; lisp compilers and interpreters to include this software
;;; with their distribution.
Is there possible DFSG violation when xref.lisp is distributed within
cl-swank package? Last rule restricts the distribution of xref.lisp only
to lisp compilers and interpreters. I can't understand clearly, does
this item forbid us to include xref.lisp with slime (which is not lisp
compiler or interpreter)? The second rule also conflicts with DFSG in my
oppinion.
