[PD] new license for pidip and unauthorized WAS: pd-pidip into Debian

[Pagano, Patrick]

So what does this really mean?
We have to go back to building pidip from source if we want to use it?
has it changed that much from when it was released?
I am just starting to get students interested in learning these objects and would like to continue 

Why is there this animosity?

You'll also have to consider SourceForge's Terms of Use, which seem to
disallow software with licenses that do not fit into the Open Source
Definition.

(from http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sitelegal/wiki/What%20projects%20qualify%20for%20hosting%20at%20SourceForge.net?)

# The software involved must be licensed under an Open Source license.


(from http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sitelegal/wiki/Controversial%20project%20hosting)
Notes on the application of the Open Source Definition ¶

The Open Source Definition requires that all Open Source licenses not
limit the ways or people that are permitted to use the software.
Though some developers of software may wish to prevent illegitimate
use, the following should be kept in mind:

     * You can't restrict the way folks use your software, only make
recommendations. That is: You cannot say that your software will not
be used to commit a crime, or for military purposes; but you can
recommend against breaking laws or using the software for military
purposes, or the operaton of nuclear power facilities. No
discrimination against purpose of use.
     * You can't restrict who can use your software: business,
military, individuals, individuals with past criminal record can all
use your software alike. No discrimination against people.
     * You can't license your software to prohibit use by T7
countries, but you can include clauses to note the requirements placed
on the licensee by the US Government, and state that users should
abide by all applicable laws.
