Can I get some feedback on this email? Is it appropriate?
Hi Markus,
I got your email address from https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/.
I'm a contributor to the guixsd project, a free linux distribution. I
commited a package named libtsm. The package contains two
files (wcwidth.c and wcwidth.h) that you're the author of.
I mistook the license of for being an ISC license which looks similar:
* Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software
* for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted. The author
* disclaims all warranties with regard to this software.
Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software
for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided
that the above copyright notice and this permission notice appear
in all copies.
The difference legally is a big one. According to the FSF's definition
of free software, this makes the files under the current license
non-free.
My question is if this was your intention, and if not, if you could make
the files available under a free license. Otherwise the we can't include
libtsm in our distro. :/
Thank you very much for your consideration.
David
