|
|
|
Build and Installation
|
|
|
|
From tarball
|
|
|
|
Obtain libburn-1.0.0.pl00.tar.gz, take it to a directory of your choice and do:
|
|
|
|
tar xzf libburn-1.0.0.pl00.tar.gz
|
|
cd libburn-1.0.0
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
To make libburn accessible for running resp. application development,
|
|
and to install the cdrecord compatibility binary cdrskin, do
|
|
(as Superuser):
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
This procedure installs libburn.so.4 and cdrskin depending on it.
|
|
For a standalone cdrskin binary, see cdrskin/README.
|
|
|
|
A behavioral conflict is known between any burn software and demons like hald
|
|
which probe CD drives. This can spoil burn runs for CD-R or CD-RW.
|
|
You may have to keep your hald away from the drive. See for example
|
|
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
From SVN
|
|
|
|
Our build system is based on autotools. For preparing the build of a SVN
|
|
snapshot you will need autotools of at least version 1.7.
|
|
Do in a directory of your choice:
|
|
|
|
svn co http://svn.libburnia-project.org/libburn/trunk libburn-svn
|
|
cd libburn-svn
|
|
./bootstrap
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
Warning: The trunk might contain experimental features which might not
|
|
persist until next release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Special ./configure options
|
|
|
|
make install on GNU/Linux will try to run program ldconfig with the library
|
|
installation directory as only argument. Failure to do so will not abort
|
|
installation. One may disable ldconfig by ./configure option:
|
|
--disable-ldconfig-at-install
|
|
|
|
In some situations Linux may deliver a better write performance to drives if
|
|
the track input is read with O_DIRECT (see man 2 open). The API call
|
|
burn_os_open_track_src() and the input readers of cdrskin and libburn fifo
|
|
can be told to use this peculiar read mode by:
|
|
--enable-track-src-odirect
|
|
|
|
But often libburn call burn_write_opts_set_dvd_obs(opts, 64*1024) will yield
|
|
even better performance in such a situation. 64k can be made default at
|
|
configure time by:
|
|
--enable-dvd-obs-64k
|
|
This may be combined with above --enable-track-src-odirect .
|
|
|
|
Alternatively the transport of SCSI commands can be done via libcdio-0.83.
|
|
You may install it and re-run libburn's ./configure with option
|
|
--enable-libcdio
|
|
|
|
By use of a version script, the libburn.so library exposes no other function
|
|
names but those of the API definition in libburn/libburn.h.
|
|
If -Wl,--version-script=... makes problems with the local compiler, then
|
|
disable this encapsulation feature by
|
|
--disable-versioned-libs
|
|
|
|
Make sure to re-compile all source files after running ./configure
|
|
make clean ; make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|

An important part of the project, libisofs, is hosted in a bzr repository at
|
|
launchpad.net :
|
|
bzr branch lp:libisofs

Overview of libburnia-project.org
|
|
|
|
libburnia-project.org is an open-source software project for reading, mastering
|
|
and writing optical discs.
|
|
For now this means CD media, all DVD media except DVD-R DL, all BD media.
|
|
|
|
The project comprises of several more or less interdependent parts which
|
|
together strive to be a usable foundation for application development.
|
|
These are libraries, language bindings, and middleware binaries which emulate
|
|
classical (and valuable) Linux tools.
|
|
Currently it is supported on GNU/Linux with kernels >= 2.4,
|
|
on FreeBSD with ATAPI/CAM enabled in the kernel (see man atapicam),
|
|
and on OpenSolaris (tested with kernel 5.11).
|
|
On other X/Open compliant systems there will only be pseudo drives, but no
|
|
direct MMC operation on real CD/DVD/BD drives.
|
|
|
|
For full ports to other systems we would need : login on a development machine
|
|
resp. a live OS on CD or DVD, advise from a system person about the equivalent
|
|
of Linux sg or FreeBSD CAM, volunteers for testing of realistic use cases.
|
|
|
|
We have a well tested code base for burning data and audio CDs, DVDs and BDs.
|
|
The burn API is quite comprehensively documented and can be used to build a
|
|
presentable application.
|
|
We have a functional application which emulates the core use cases of cdrecord
|
|
in order to prove that usability, and in order to allow you to explore
|
|
libburn's scope by help of existing cdrecord frontends.
|
|
|
|
ISO 9660 filesystems with Rock Ridge and Joliet extensions can be created
|
|
and manipulated quite freely. This capability together with our burn capability
|
|
makes possible a single binary application which covers all steps of image
|
|
composition, updating and writing. Quite unique in the Linux world.
|
|
|
|
The project components (list subject to growth, hopefully):
|
|
|
|
- libburn is the library by which preformatted data get onto optical media.
|
|
It uses either /dev/sgN (e.g. on kernel 2.4 with ide-scsi) or
|
|
/dev/srM or /dev/hdX (e.g. on kernel 2.6).
|
|
libburn is the foundation of our cdrecord emulation. Its code is
|
|
independent of cdrecord. Its DVD capabilities are learned from
|
|
studying the code of dvd+rw-tools and MMC-5 specs. No code but only
|
|
the pure SCSI knowledge has been taken from dvd+rw-tools, though.
|
|
|
|
- libisofs is the library to pack up hard disk files and directories into a
|
|
ISO 9660 disk image. This may then be brought to CD via libburn.
|
|
An own ISO 9660 extension stores ACLs, xattr, and MD5 of file
|
|
content.
|
|
|
|
- libisoburn is an add-on to libburn and libisofs which coordinates both and
|
|
also allows to grow ISO-9660 filesystem images on multi-session
|
|
media as well as on overwriteable media via the same API.
|
|
All media peculiarities are handled automatically.
|
|
It also contains the methods of command oriented application
|
|
xorriso and offers them via a C language API.
|
|
|
|
- cdrskin is a limited cdrecord compatibility wrapper for libburn.
|
|
cdrecord is a powerful GPL'ed burn program included in Joerg
|
|
Schilling's cdrtools. cdrskin strives to be a second source for
|
|
the services traditionally provided by cdrecord. Additionally it
|
|
provides libburn's DVD capabilities, where only -sao is compatible
|
|
with cdrecord.
|
|
cdrskin does not contain any bytes copied from cdrecord's sources.
|
|
Many bytes have been copied from the message output of cdrecord
|
|
runs, though.
|
|
See cdrskin/README for more.
|
|
|
|
- xorriso is an application of all three libraries which creates, loads,
|
|
manipulates and writes ISO 9660 filesystem images with
|
|
Rock Ridge extensions. Manipulation is not only adding or
|
|
overwriting of files but also deleting, renaming, attribute
|
|
changing, incremental backups, activating boot images, and
|
|
extracting of files from ISO images to disk. There is also a
|
|
sparse emulation of cdrecord and a more laborate one of mkisofs.
|
|
All features of xorriso are also available via a C language API
|
|
of libisoburn.
|
|
See xorriso/README for more.
|
|
|
|
- "test" is a collection of application gestures and examples given by the
|
|
authors of the library features. The burn API example of libburn
|
|
is named test/libburner.c . The API for media information inquiry is
|
|
demonstrated in test/telltoc.c .
|
|
Explore these examples if you look for inspiration.
|
|
|
|
We strive to be a responsive upstream.
|
|
|
|
Our libraries are committed to maintain older feature sets in newer versions.
|
|
This applies to source code headers (API) as well as to linkable objects (ABI).
|
|
The only exception from this rule is about non-release versions x.y.*[13579]
|
|
which are allowed to introduce new features, change those new features in
|
|
any way and even may revoke such new features before the next release of
|
|
x.y.*[02468]. As soon as it is released, a feature is promised to persist.
|
|
|
|
SONAMES:
|
|
libburn.so.4 (since 0.3.4, March 2007),
|
|
libisofs.so.6 (since 0.6.2, February 2008),
|
|
libisoburn.so.1 (since 0.1.0, February 2008).
|
|
|
|
Applications must use 64 bit off_t. E.g. by defining
|
|
#define _LARGEFILE_SOURCE
|
|
#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
|
|
or take special precautions to interface with the libraries by 64 bit integers
|
|
where the .h files prescribe off_t. To reduce libburn's off_t size to 32 bit
|
|
will keep it from processing tracks of more than 2 GB size.
|
|

|
|
Project history as far as known to me:
|
|
|
|
- Founded in 2002 as it seems. See mailing list archives
|
|
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libburn/
|
|
The site of this founder team is reachable and offers download of a
|
|
(somewhat outdated) tarball and from CVS :
|
|
http://icculus.org/burn/
|
|
Copyright holders and most probably founders:
|
|
Derek Foreman and Ben Jansens.
|
|
|
|
- I came to using libburn in 2005. Founded the cdrskin project and submitted
|
|
necessary patches which were accepted or implemented better. Except one
|
|
remaining patch which prevented cdrskin from using vanilla libburn from CVS.
|
|
The cdrskin project site is reachable and offers download of the heavily
|
|
patched (elsewise outdated) tarball under the name cdrskin-0.1.2 :
|
|
http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/cdrskin_eng.html
|
|
It has meanwhile moved to use vanilla libburn.pykix.org , though.
|
|
Version 0.1.4 constitutes the first release of this kind.
|
|
|
|
- In July 2006 our team mate Mario Danic announced a revival of libburn
|
|
which by about nearly everybody else was perceived as unfriendly fork.
|
|
Derek Foreman four days later posted a message which expressed his
|
|
discontent.
|
|
The situation first caused me to publically regret it and then - after i
|
|
got the opportunity to move in with cdrskin - gave me true reason to
|
|
personally apologize to Derek Foreman, Ben Jansens and the contributors at
|
|
icculus.org/burn. Posted to both projects:
|
|
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libburn/2006-August/000446.html
|
|
http://mailman-mail1.webfaction.com/pipermail/libburn-hackers/2006-August/000024.html
|
|
|
|
- Mid August 2006 project cdrskin established a branch office in
|
|
libburn.pykix.org so that all maintainers of our tools have one single place
|
|
to get the current (at least slightely) usable coordinated versions of
|
|
everything.
|
|
Project cdrskin will live forth independendly for a while but it is committed
|
|
to stay in sync with libburn.pykix.org (or some successor, if ever).
|
|
cdrskin is also committed to support icculus.org/burn if the pending fork
|
|
is made reality by content changes in that project. It will cease to maintain
|
|
a patched version of icculus.org/burn though. Precondition for a new
|
|
release of cdrskin on base of icculus.org/burn would be the pending
|
|
"whitelist patch" therefore.
|
|
I would rather prefer if both projects find consense and merge, or at least
|
|
cooperate. I have not given up hope totally, yet.
|
|
I, personally, will honor any approach.
|
|
|
|
- 2nd September 2006 the decision is made to strive for a consolidation of
|
|
copyright and a commitment to GPL in a reasonable and open minded way.
|
|
This is to avoid long term problems with code of unknown origin and
|
|
with finding consense among the not so clearly defined group of copyright
|
|
claimers and -holders.
|
|
libisofs is already claimed sole copyright Mario Danic.
|
|
cdrskin and libburner are already claimed sole copyright Thomas Schmitt.
|
|
Rewrites of other components will follow and concluded by claiming full
|
|
copyright within the group of libburn.pykix.org-copyright holders.
|
|
|
|
- 16th September 2006 feature freeze for release of libburn-0.2.2 .
|
|
|
|
- 20th September 2006 release of libburn-0.2.2 .
|
|
|
|
- 26th October 2006 feature freeze for cdrskin-0.2.4 based on libburn-0.2.3 .
|
|
This version of cdrskin is much more cdrecord compatible in repect
|
|
to drive addressing and audio features.
|
|
|
|
- 30th October 2006 release of cdrskin-0.2.4 .
|
|
|
|
- 13th November 2006 splitting releases of libburn+cdrskin from libisofs.
|
|
|
|
- 24th November 2006 release of libburn-0.2.6 and cdrskin-0.2.6 . cdrskin has
|
|
become suitable for unaware frontends as long as they perform only the core
|
|
of cdrecord use cases (including open-ended input streams, audio, and
|
|
multi-session).
|
|
|
|
- 28th November 2006 the umbrella project which encloses both, libisofs and
|
|
libburn, is now called libburnia. For the origin of this name, see
|
|
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liburnians .
|
|
|
|
- 16th January 2007 release of libburn-0.3.0 and cdrskin-0.3.0 . Now the scope
|
|
is widened to a first class of DVD media: overwriteable single layer types
|
|
DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, DVD-RW. This is not a cdrecord emulation but rather inspired
|
|
by dvd+rw-tools' "poor man" writing facility for this class of media.
|
|
Taking a bow towards Andy Polyakov.
|
|
|
|
- 11th February 2007 version 0.3.2 covers sequential DVD-RW and DVD-R with
|
|
multi-session and with DAO.
|
|
|
|
- 12th March 2007 version 0.3.4 supports DVD+R and thus covers all single layer
|
|
DVD media. Code for double layer DVD+/-R is implemented but awaits a tester
|
|
yet.
|
|
|
|
- 23th April 2007 version 0.3.6 follows the unanimous opinion of Linux kernel
|
|
people that one should not use /dev/sg on kernel 2.6.
|
|
|
|
- 31st July 2007 version 0.3.8 marks the first anniversary of libburn revival.
|
|
We look back on improved stability, a substantially extended list of media
|
|
and write modes, and better protection against typical user mishaps.
|
|
|
|
- 24th October 2007 version 0.4.0 is the foundation of new library libisoburn
|
|
and an upcomming integrated application for manipulating and writing
|
|
ISO 9660 + Rock Ridge images. cdrskin-0.4.0 got capabilities like growisofs
|
|
by these enhancements: growing of overwriteable media and disk files.
|
|
Taking again a bow towards Andy Polyakov.
|
|
|
|
- 26th Januar 2008 version 0.4.2 rectifies the version numbering so that we
|
|
reliably release libburn.so.4 as should have been done since libburn-0.3.2.
|
|
cdrskin now is by default linked dynamically and does a runtime check
|
|
to ensure not to be started with a libburn which is older than itself.
|
|
|
|
- 3rd Feb 2008 libisofs-0.2.x (.so.5) has been deprecated.
|
|
|
|
- 14th Feb 2008 libisofs-0.6.2 permanently replaces the old libisofs-0.2.x.
|
|
It is the first release of new libisofs.so.6 which will guarantee future
|
|
API/ABI compatibility for its whole feature set.
|
|
|
|
- 15th Feb 2008 libisoburn-0.1.0 (.so.1) coordinates libisofs and libburn for
|
|
the purpose of ISO image reading and writing. It emulates multi-session on
|
|
overwriteable media. Application xorriso makes use of all three libraries.
|
|
|
|
- 8th Apr 2008 libburn-0.4.4 has proven to be capable of burning to DVD+R/DL
|
|
and read performance on disk file pseudo-drives has been improved.
|
|
|
|
- 27th Apr 2008 libisofs-0.6.4 can now read data file content from images
|
|
and can map pieces of disk files onto image files. Image directory iteration
|
|
has been enhanced. Input data streams and extended information have been
|
|
exposed in the API to allow future development.
|
|
|
|
- 29th Apr 2008 libisoburn-0.1.4 was made more efficient with reading of
|
|
image tree nodes. It now depends on libisofs-0.6.4 and libburn-0.4.4.
|
|
xorriso makes use of new libisofs features by performing incremental
|
|
updates of directory trees and by cutting oversized data files into
|
|
pieces. A primitive single session emulation of cdrecord and mkisofs is
|
|
provided.
|
|
|
|
- 10th May 2008 libburn-0.4.6 supports formatting and writing of BD-RE,
|
|
full nominal speed for DVD-RAM and BD-RE. cdrskin has a unified blank
|
|
type with automatic media state recognition.
|
|
|
|
- 17th May 2008 an old bug with DVD-RAM and now with BD-RE is fixed by
|
|
libburn-0.4.8 to allow libisoburn emulation of multisession on those media.
|
|
|
|
- 19th May 2008 libisoburn-0.1.6 brings better table-of-content emulation
|
|
on overwriteble media and disk files.
|
|
|
|
- 1st Jun 2008 libisofs-0.6.6 fixes some problems around device files.
|
|
|
|
- 3rd Jun 2008 libisoburn-0.1.8 fixes a bug with overwriteable media.
|
|
|
|
- 23rd Jun 2008 libisoburn-0.2.0 introduces extraction of files from
|
|
ISO images.
|
|
|
|
- 16th Jul 2008 libburn-0.5.0 handles systems with no /dev/sr* but only
|
|
/dev/scd*.
|
|
|
|
- 19th Jul 2008 libisoburn/xorriso-0.2.2 can do multi-session in mkisofs
|
|
and cdrecord style. xorriso now can serve underneath growisofs.
|
|
|
|
- 20th Aug 2008 libburn-0.5.2 revokes the necessity that a drive must be
|
|
enumerable in order to be adressable. Enumeration is enhanced by examining
|
|
/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info.
|
|
|
|
- 24th Aug 2008 libisoburn/xorriso-0.2.4 introduces a media readability check
|
|
with data retrieval option.
|
|
|
|
- 18th Sep 2008 libisofs-0.6.8 supports ISO 9660 Level 3 which allows very
|
|
large data files in the image.
|
|
|
|
- 20th Sep 2008 libisoburn/xorriso-0.2.6 takes into respect the new Level 3
|
|
capabilities of libisofs.
|
|
|
|
- 6th Oct 2008 libburn-0.5.4 adjusts the changes of 0.5.2 to the needs of
|
|
Linux kernel 2.4 and introduces human readable SCSI error messages.
|
|
|
|
- 6th Oct 2008 libisofs-0.6.10 fixes two bugs which prevented adding and
|
|
manipulation of ISOLINUX boot images.
|
|
|
|
- 15th Oct 2008 libisoburn/xorriso-0.2.8 can activate and maintain an
|
|
ISOLINUX boot image by an EL Torito boot record.
|
|
|
|
- 12th Nov 2008 libburn-0.5.6 fixes usage of freed memory by the fifo thread
|
|
of an aborted burn run.
|
|
|
|
- 26th Nov 2008 libisofs-0.6.12 can produce a ISOLINUX isohybrid MBR on the fly
|
|
and allows to produce ISO images which resemble old mkisofs images.
|
|
|
|
- 2nd Dec 2008 libisoburn-0.3.0. xorriso now is ready for exotic character
|
|
sets, for legacy FreeBSD systems which expect an outdated Rock Ridge
|
|
signature, and for producing ISO images with MBR which boot from hard disk
|
|
or USB stick. Three minor bugs were fixed.
|
|
|
|
- 7th Dec 2008 libburn-0.5.8 prevents a SIGSEGV with wierd CD table-of-content
|
|
and improves BD-RE formatting.
|
|
|
|
- 9th Dec 2008 Our project received a donation from Thomas Weber.
|
|
|
|
- 2nd Jan 2009 libburn-0.6.0 allows to format BD-R and to write to either
|
|
formatted or unformatted BD-R.
|
|
|
|
- 6th Jan 2009 libisoburn-0.3.2. xorriso can produce and execute commands for
|
|
mounting older sessions from all kinds of media. Pseudo-drives outside the
|
|
/dev/ tree can be addressed without prefix "stdio:".
|
|
|
|
- 20th Feb 2009 libburn-0.6.2 source release now compiles out of the box
|
|
on FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
- 28 Feb 2009 libisofs-0.6.14 can record ACLs and Extended Attributes xattr
|
|
in its ISO images.
|
|
|
|
- 01 Mar 2009 libisoburn-0.3.4. xorriso makes use of the ACL and xattr
|
|
capabilities provided by libisofs for xorriso backup features.
|
|
|
|
- 11 Mar 2009 libisofs-0.6.16 of libisofs fixes two bugs which on Solaris
|
|
prevented to navigate the ISO images by ".." and to recognize the Rock Ridge
|
|
extensions of ISO images. The ban to build libisofs on operating systems
|
|
other than Linux and FreeBSD has been lifted.
|
|
|
|
- 13 Mar 2009 libburn-0.6.4 got a dummy adapter for SCSI/MMC command transport.
|
|
It will show no drives and thus libburn will only be able to perform
|
|
operations on "stdio:" pseudo drives. Nevertheless this allowed to lift the
|
|
ban to build libburn on operating systems other than Linux and FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
- 16 Mar 2009 libisoburn-0.3.6: xorriso uses RRIP version 1.10 as default
|
|
in order to be mountable where mkisofs images are mountable.
|
|
|
|
- 17 Apr 2009 libisofs-0.6.18 introduces content filtering of data files.
|
|
Built-in filters allow compression to formats gzip and zisofs. External
|
|
filter processes allow arbitrary data conversions like encryption.
|
|
|
|
- 19 Apr 2009 libisoburn-0.3.8 makes use of the new libisofs capability to
|
|
perform content filtering of data files.

|
|
and a bug with device scan on FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
- 31 May 2009 libisofs-0.6.20 can record hard link relations in ISO images
|
|
and offers support with restoring them to disk. Current Linux kernels will
|
|
mount images with such hard links but will attribute a unique inode number
|
|
to each file.
|
|
|
|
- 28 Jun 2009 libisoburn-0.4.0: xorriso can record and restore hard link
|
|
relations of files. Performance of data reading has been improved. Option
|
|
-find now supports logical operators with its tests.
|
|
|
|

|
|
and with large SCSI bus numbers as handed out by Linux for USB drives.
|
|
|
|
- 20 Jul 2009 libisoburn-0.4.0.pl01 fixes a regression in xorriso which caused
|
|
data loss in older sessions if xorriso was used underneath growisofs.
|
|
Affected are releases since libisoburn-0.3.2 in january 2009.
|
|
|
|
- 25 Aug 2009 libisofs-0.6.22 can record MD5 checksums for the whole session
|
|
and for each single data file. Checksum tags allow to verify superblock and
|
|
directory tree before importing them.
|
|
|
|
- 27 Aug 2009 libburn-0.7.0 allows to calm down a drive and to inquire its
|
|
supported profiles. It works around some pitfalls with U3 enhanced memory
|
|
sticks which emulate a CD-ROM.
|
|
|
|
- 27 Aug 2009 libisoburn-0.4.0.pl00 can record MD5 checksums by which one may
|
|
verify the session or single data files in the image. When comparing image
|
|
files with files in the local filesystem, the MD5 sums avoid the need for
|
|
reading file content from the image.
|
|
|
|
- 22 Sep 2009 libisoburn-0.4.0.pl01 fixes a bug in xorriso option -cut_out.
|
|
|
|
- 08 Oct 2009 libisofs-0.6.24 fixes a bug which could cause the loss of blanks
|
|
in file names when a new session got added to an ISO image. With names
|
|
shorter than 251 characters this happened only to trailing blanks.
|
|
|
|
- 08 Oct 2009 libisoburn-0.4.0.pl02 fixes bugs with xorriso option -for_backup,
|
|
with xorrisofs -help, and with xorrecord -help.
|
|
|
|
- 12 Oct 2009 libburn-0.7.2 fixes a bug with CD TAO multi-track dummy sessions.
|
|
It can retrieve media product info and can process track input which was
|
|
prepared for CD-ROM XA Mode 2 Form 1. cdrskin now performs option -minfo.
|
|
|
|
- 28 Oct 2009 libisoburn-0.4.4 fixes a bug with cdrecord emulation and
|
|
introduces new information options about media type and ISO image id strings.
|
|
On Linux it helps with mounting two sessions of the same media
|
|
simultaneously.
|
|
|
|
- 12 Nov 2009 libburn-0.7.2.pl01 works around problems with Pioneer DVR-216D.

Clarification in my name and in the name of Mario Danic, upcoming copyright
|
|
holders on toplevel of libburnia. To be fully in effect after the remaining
|
|
other copyrighted code has been replaced by ours and by copyright-free
|
|
contributions of our friends:
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
We, the copyright holders, agree on the interpretation that dynamical linking
|
|
of our libraries constitutes "use of" and not "derivation from" our work in
|
|
the sense of GPL, provided those libraries are compiled from our unaltered
|
|
code or from altered code published under GPL.
|
|
|
|
So we will not raise legal protest if you link our libraries dynamically with
|
|
applications which are not under GPL, or if you distribute our libraries
|
|
and application tools in binary form, as long as you fulfill the usual
|
|
condition of GPL to offer a copy of their source code -altered or unaltered-
|
|
under GPL.
|
|
|
|
We ask you politely to use our work in open source spirit
|
|
and with the due reference to the entire open source community.
|
|
|
|
If there should really arise the case where above clarification
|
|
does not suffice to fulfill a clear and neat request in open source
|
|
spirit that would otherwise be declined for mere formal reasons,
|
|
only in that case we will duely consider to issue a special license
|
|
covering only that special case.
|
|
It is the open source idea of responsible freedom which will be
|
|
decisive and you will have to prove that you exhausted all own
|
|
means to qualify for GPL.
|
|
|
|
For now we are firmly committed to maintain one single license: GPL.
