Oops, sorry.
IIRC, while the 4 clause BSD license is incompatible with the GPL, the regents granted a general "amnesty" so code copyrighted by them gets treated like a 3 clause BSD license.There's also the issue of the Qualcomm claim (which is rather ambiguous). If this is true however, 4-clause BSD should be added to our "acceptable licenses" list.
No, unfortunately it can't be added: It can only be added if the only copyright for the file is Copyright (c) 1989 Regents of the University of California. As you mentioned that is not the case here, we either need permission from * This file created by Irfan Khan <ikhan () qualcomm com> * Copyright (c) 2001 by QUALCOMM, Incorporated. or we can't distribute binaries using that file. What we can do though is provide the source file without compiling it in. So maybe put it into the wiki so the knowhow isn't lost in case someone wants to recreate it (or just use it for a locally built copy). Ciao Jörg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer () loplof de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
