[htdig-dev] Licenses..

[Robert R. <ri...@li...>]

Hello again,

I am in the process of making my 'htdig' package (the one based on  3.1.6)
lintian-clean (Lintian is a special program that checks for conformance 
of the package to the debian packaging guidelines).

I found the following licenses (which I need to list in copyright):

Berkeley DB      Sleepycat license (4 clause BSD license listed in the 
code, the current sleepycat license is 3 clause BSD)

your extensions
to Berkeley DB   no idea (3 clause BSD?)

Config.guess/
Config.sub          GPL Version 2                

htdig (3.1.6)       GPL Version 2

Config.guess/Config.sub are used to compile the Berkeley DB. Also, what 
exactly are your extensions to Berkeley DB (that prevent replacing that 
version with something more recent?).

I also replaced Config.guess/Config.sub with a more current version (2004).

At the moment,  the program still compiles with gcc/g++ 3.3,  with 
deprecation warnings. I don't know whether it will still compile with 
gcc-3.4

yours

Robert
