Format-Specification: http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat Upstream-Name: maptools Upstream-Maintainer: Nicholas J. Lewin-Koh, Roger Bivand, and others Upstream-Source: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/maptools/ X-Debianized-By: Andreas Tille X-Packaged-Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2009 11:48:08 +0100 Disclaimer : This package is not part of the Debian operating system. The r-cran-maptools source and binary Debian packages are part of the "non-free" area in our archive. The packages in this area are not part of the Debian system, although they have been configured for use with Debian. We nevertheless support the use of the r-cran-maptools source and binary Debian pacakges and provide infrastructure for non-free packages (such as our bug tracking system and mailing lists). . The r-cran-maptools package contains some data files, inst/shapes/baltim.*, inst/shapes/columbus.*, and inst/shapes/sids.* (see below), whose license does not permit modification. . A request about relicensing was send to Julia Koschinsky but not answered until now. . The r-cran-maptools package also contains files of unclear ownership and licensing: `data/wrld_simpl.rda' and `inst/shapes/pointZ.*'. X-Non-Free-Autobuild: yes The licence does not forbid Debian from using autobuilders to create binary packages. Files: * License: GPL-2+ Copyright: © 2001-2008 Nicholas J.

Subject: Re: r-cran-maptools_0.7.16-1_i386.changes REJECTED (fwd) . Hi Stuart, . As far as we are concerned at the GeoDa Center, you're welcome to use our sample data at http://geodacenter.asu.edu/sdata for all of the purposes you mention, including sharing them with others, uploading them on your local server for your students, listing them on your personal website, simplifying the data, improving it, or other educational uses. We appreciate listing the credit. . Our primary purpose for making the data available is for our tutorials and software use. If you or others find them useful for other purposes, please go ahead. Several of the sample datasets include ESRI shapefiles and a lot of them are based on US Census data - we're not sure what the legal restrictions are in this case but I can tell you that as far as the GeoDa Center is concerned, anyone who wants to use, add value, make available or any other use they see for our sample data for non-commercial purposes is welcome to it. . Enjoy.

X-Comment: quoting from http://shapelib.maptools.org/license.html : I am pleased to receive bug fixes, and improvements for Shapelib. Unless the submissions indicate otherwise I will assume that changes submitted to me remain under the the above "dual license" terms. If changes are made to the library with the intention that those changes should be protected by the LGPL then I should be informed upon submission. Note that I will not generally incorporate changes into the core of Shapelib that are protected under the LGPL as this would effectively limit the whole file and distribution to LGPL terms.
