Dear Guix,

I'd like to add the CC-BY-ND licenses, but I am not sure whether these
are free.  So, what do you think?

Thanks for your time!

Kind regards,
Roel Janssen

From the license text:

NoDerivatives — If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you
may not distribute the modified material.

I believe this makes CC-BY-ND non-free, since you are not allowed to
share modified works.

I was afraid so.  I'm closing the patch request, because it is a no-go
then.

Thanks for your time!

I wonder: for what he wants to add that licese?

Please select one:

a. Software/script.

b. Things which have some script logic inside. E.g.: Battle for Wesnoth
   allows campaigns to have conditionals and loops, Frogatto & Friends
   (non-free) has that too.

b. Shading data (generally found inside 3D models).

c. Text fonts.

d. Color profiles.

e. 3D models that when printed will be of practical use (forks, cups,
   eating plates, glasses).

f. Documentation for (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e).

g. 3D models that when printed serve only for decoration (statues and so
   on).

h. Vídeo, text, audio and images (as long as they don't fall into the
   previous options).

The FSDG does permit "non-functional data" to be distributed under
hostile licenses, but they have no business in (guix licenses).

Roel, if the software that uses CC-BY-ND falls under this category, look
into the "fsdg-compatible" license procedure.

Thanks for the reminder, Adonay :)

You're welcome. ;)

Although I'm still waiting for the answer, depending on what the package
is about, it might be possible to include it. It all depends on the
content.

I'm sorry I missed this message somehow.  So the content is a repository
with data files that are used to compare and filter other data to.  The
data is not meant to be edited.

Either way, the patch I proposed to add the CC-BY-ND cannot be included
in (guix licenses).

Thanks for the pointer to the "fsdg-compatible" license procedure.
