| Fudge | cjwatson do you have admin joy across Launchpad? | 08:16 |
| JonnyJD_ | Since https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/237445 just expired. I guess you can practically host proprietary software on launchpad for free? | 10:43 |
| czajkowski | wgrant: ^ | 11:08 |
| === mgzh is now known as mgz | ||
| wgrant | JonnyJD_: That question fell through the cracks, apparently. But the software in question is acceptable for distribution in a PPA, though the service is not intended for, and we discourage its use in, the distribution of non-free software. | 11:15 |
| JonnyJD_ | wgrant: ah okay. | 11:15 |

| Fudge | cjwatson I can crack on with it, just have not had any luck yet. | 19:19 |
| cjwatson | Your problem as you previously described it doesn't require any special privileges | 19:34 |
| cjwatson | ./remove-package -p vinux --ppa-name=precise-updates -s precise -a armel -a armhf -a powerpc -b -m "remove extra archs Vinux does not support" firefox firefox-dev firefox-dbg ... (I'm not going to work out all the binary package names involved here) | 19:37 |
| cjwatson | (I didn't notice your mistake with -p/--ppa-name when you last commented) | 19:37 |
| cjwatson | FWIW you'd have got an answer more quickly if you'd said what error you were encountering :-) | 19:38 |
| Fudge | cjwatson thank you, I didn't want to bother you :$ | 19:40 |
| Fudge | very helpful thank you so much :D | 21:26 |
| mark06 | are licensing terms implied from a merge proposal? | 22:52 |
| mark06 | what if I receive a merge proposal without any license/copyright notice? | 22:53 |
| mark06 | can I add it myself for the author, or do they have to? | 22:53 |
| cjwatson | There's nothing special about merge proposals for this purpose. You can substitute "patch" for "merge proposal" and the question is exactly the same. | 22:57 |
| cjwatson | The answer may well depend on your jurisdiction or something and I don't think I want to attempt to answer it in case it might count as legal advice ... | 22:57 |
| cjwatson | The safe answer is to ask the author, of course | 22:58 |
| cjwatson | I believe organisations like the FSF have some general guidance on this kind of thing | 22:58 |
| mark06 | I would take legal advice from unknown people in IRC, don't worry | 22:58 |
| mark06 | yeah I think it's safer requesting the author... | 22:59 |
| mark06 | I just wondered if that was something no one cared about... | 22:59 |
| cjwatson | For instance https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Legally-Significant is what the FSF thinks | 22:59 |
| cjwatson | (Though I've also seen assertions that that's US-centric advice) | 22:59 |
| mark06 | like when TLS flaws exposed basically whole internet, and no one gave a damn | 23:00 |
| mark06 | *I would *NOT* take legal advice from unknown people in IRC, don't worry | 23:00 |
| mark06 | I remember reading something about 10 lines... for copyright purposes... | 23:01 |
| mark06 | thanks anyway cjwatson, I went for the safe option: https://code.launchpad.net/~vlad-lesin/pidgin-ircaway/easy_build/+merge/170990 | 23:03 |
| cjwatson | I suspect all this stuff winds up in case law and hence is hideously difficult to dig out | 23:04 |
| cjwatson | Don't think I've ever heard of statute law that sets a minimum number of lines or anything like that | 23:04 |
