palmpilote 寫:<p><strong>GNU GPL and OPL.</strong> Tatsuya Kinoshita <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal-0305/msg00003.html">wondered</a> if
the <a href="http://opencontent.org/openpub/">Open Publication License</a>
(OPL) is compatible with the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">\
GNU GPL</a>. He quoted a paragraph from the OPL that seems to be incompatible
with the GPL. He would also like to see the Debian <a href="$(HOME)/">web
pages</a> be dual-licensed under both the OPL and the GNU GPL instead of only
under the OPL as it is currently.</p>
<p><strong>Splitting off Documentation.</strong> Andreas Tille <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0305/msg00218.html">wondered</a> if
it is documented when documentation should be split off of a package. Oliver
Elphick <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0305/msg00241.html">\
explained</a> that the point of splitting out a documentation package is to
reduce download time for people who want to install a package without its
documentation. This has to be balanced against the load on the archive of
having extra packages.</p>
<p><strong>Update for DebConf 3 in Oslo.</strong> Tollef Fog Heen sent an <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce-0305/msg00002.html">\
update</a> for DebConf 3, which will take place in Oslo, Norway, from July
18th to 20th, with DebCamp preceeding it from July 12th to 17th. DebCamp will
be a work camp where urgent things like debian-installer or big mean bugs will
be worked on. Depending on the weather, the evenings will be spent with
barbeque, mosquitos and other fun things. HP and Lindows thankfully sponsor
this event. Interested people should <a
href="http://www.debconf.org/debconf3/registration/">register</a> online.</p>
<p><strong>GNU Emacs containing non-fee Components?</strong> Jérôme Marant <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal-0304/msg00373.html">wondered</a> if
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html">two</a> <a
href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-free.html">essays</a> that are
distributed with GNU Emacs, use a non-free license. Both are distributed
differently on the FSF web pages, though. Some people say that these files
are manifesto documents and not regular documentation, hence, the are
permitted to be non-modifyable.</p>
<p><strong>Discovering the used Character Encoding.</strong> Bob Hilliard <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0305/msg00575.html">wondered</a>
whether it is possible to determine what character encoding is used in a
document without manually scanning the entire file. Martin von Loewis <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0305/msg00582.html">explained</a>
that this can't be done automatically. If one knows what text to expect, one
can try a number of encodings, and see which of the encodings gives the
characters one expects. As a manual procedure, this is best done with the
help of <code>/usr/share/i18n/charmaps</code>.</p>
<p><strong>License problems with DBD::mysql?</strong> A <a
href="http://bugs.debian.org/189164">bug report</a> from Steve Langasek
started a <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal-0304/msg00171.html">\
discussion</a> on whether Debian may distribute a GPL-incompatible script
which uses a free interpreter and free libraries. Because the new
libmysqlclient12 package is licensed under the GPL, any GPL-incompatible apps
which depend on libdbd-mysql-perl (DBD::mysql) would be in violation of the
libmysqlclient12 license.</p>
<p><strong>Status of Sarge Release Issues.</strong> Drew Scott Daniels <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0305/msg00271.html">posted</a>
an updated list of sarge release issues. This is a list of things to be done
before sarge can be released, with status information and an estimated priorty
(of 1-3). Some of the issues listed include <a
href="http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/testing_probs.html">problems</a>
in testing, the <a href="http://people.debian.org/~branden/xsf/">XFree86
status</a>, <a
href="http://people.debian.org/~mckinstry/ports-status.html">porting</a> of
debian-installer, the possibility of using <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0305/msg00274.html">\
Linux Kernel 2.6</a> in sarge, and the <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0305/msg00334.html">status
of Java</a>.</p>
