Difference between revisions of "Problematic Licenses"

Revision as of 22:08, 7 September 2017

This page shall be used to track problematic licenses in the ReactOS source code tree. It was created after a presentation about Licensing Best Practices held by Colin Finck at ReactOS Hackfest 2017.

To put it in a nutshell: Problematic licenses include any form of non-Open-Source licenses or licenses prohibiting commercial usage.

Directory	Problem	Notes
/reactos/drivers/filesystems/fastfat_new /trunk/reactos/sdk/lib/3rdparty/fullfat	Extra restriction to the GPL that prevents commercial usage
/wallpapers/Angelus*	Apparently released under CC-BY-NC preventing commercial usage (needs verification)
/rostests/testdata/2prong.txt /rostests/testdata/test.pfb /rostests/testdata/test.pfm	Fonts used as test data under proprietary license that prevents commercial usage
/reactos/drivers/storage/class/cdrom /reactos/drivers/storage/class/class2 /reactos/drivers/storage/class/disk /reactos/drivers/storage/ide/atapi	Under Windows NT4 DDK sample code license	Some can be replaced by similar code under Ms-PL Open-Source license from https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/master/storage/class
h]	Needs to be referenced / indexed that these files exist here	TODO
