Subject: nx-libs-lite: parts are derived from non-free code
Message-ID: <20150506173532.7531.31389.reportbug@homebrew>

Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org

Package: nx-libs-lite
Version: 3.5.0.27-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1

Hello and thanks for maintaining this package in Debian!

I noticed that the debian/copyright states:

[...]
| Parts of this software are derived from DXPC project. These copyright
| notices apply to original DXPC code:
| 
|    Redistribution and use in source and binary forms are permitted provided
|    that the above copyright notice and this paragraph are duplicated in all
|    such forms.
| 
|    THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED ``AS IS'' AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
|    WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
|    MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
| 
|    Copyright (c) 1995,1996 Brian Pane
|    Copyright (c) 1996,1997 Zachary Vonler and Brian Pane
|    Copyright (c) 1999 Kevin Vigor and Brian Pane
|    Copyright (c) 2000,2001 Gian Filippo Pinzari and Brian Pane
[...]

This license lacks the permission to modify the DXPC code.
Hence, the original DXPC code does not appear to comply with the
DFSG. And the nx-libs-lite is in part derived from DXPC code.

This basically means that nx-libs-lite includes parts which are
non-free (as they are derived from non-modifiable code) and
are also possibly legally undistributable (as they are non-modifiable,
but actually modified). The combination with the rest of nx-libs-lite
(which is GPL-licensed) may also be legally undistributable (since
the license with no permission to modify is GPL-incompatible).


If there's anything I misunderstood, please clarify.

Otherwise, please address this issue as soon as possible.
The copyright owners for the original DXPC code should be
contacted and persuaded to re-license under GPL-compatible
terms.

Thanks for your time.
Bye.

Please follow-up with reading [1].

As it seems, dxpc has been long ago relicensed to BSD-2-clause (for=20=20
v3.8.1=20in/around 2002).

I have no exact clue, if NoMachine forked prior to that (if they quote=20=
=20
the=20old licensing terms, then probably they did).

However, how do you see the situation considering that upstream=20=20
changed=20to BSD-2-clause a long time ago. What approach do you propose=20=
=20
for=20nx-libs-lite to get the issue fully fixed?

Yep, it's plausible...

If the fork has been performed before the DXPC re-licensing (as it's
likely), I see two possible strategies:

 (A) someone gets in touch with DXPC copyright owners and asks them
whether the re-licensing may be considered retroactive (applicable to
older versions of DXPC); in case the answer is negative, DXPC copyright
owners should be persuaded to make the re-licensing retroactive

 (B) nx-libs-lite upstream developers re-fork from scratch, basing the
new code on a BSD-licensed version of DXPC (I suspect this may turn out
to be somewhat painful...)


Obviously, the optimal solution is (A). I hope it may work...

Thanks for your time and for your prompt and kind replies.

This is the way to go, I will pull in Kevin Vigor (the upstream author=20=
=20
of=20DXPC) into this thread with my next email.

Yeah, indeed painful.

Also, Michael DePaulo, one of the upstream NX maintainers noted that=20=20
DXPC=20simply used a previous version of the BSD license, see [1]. The=20=
=20
weakness=20of that ancient license template is that modification is not=20=
=20
explictily=20allowed, but neither forbidden.

I think, regarding the historical usage of the BSD license predecessor=20=
=20
and=20the switch to BSD-2-clause should be fine already (I am not a=20=20
lawyer,=20though). I will contact DXPC upstream nonetheless and ask for=20=
=20
a=20statement.

Dear Kevin,

(I Cc: several people involved in this, also the X2Go development=20=20
mailing=20list...)

[If you feel unconfortable with discussing the details / the impact of=20=

the=20below in public, feel free to answer to me directly first with=20=20
questions=20and concerns, before answering to all people who are listed=20=
=20
in=20Cc:.]

Someone from the Debian legal team recently brought up a license issue=20=
=20
discovered=20in nx-libs 3.x series.

TL;DR; Suggested by Francesco Poli from the Debian legal team: """
(A) someone gets in touch with DXPC copyright owners and asks them
whether the re-licensing [in 2002] may be considered retroactive=20=20
(applicable=20to
older versions of DXPC); in case the answer is negative, DXPC copyright
owners should be persuaded to make the re-licensing retroactive
"""

The person contacting you about the above question is me. Mike=20=20
Gabriel,=20Debian Developer and one of the current upstream maintainers=20=
=20
of=20nx-libs 3.x (previously also know as  "NX redistributed" for X2Go)=20=
=20
[1].

This=20issue requires some time of reading from you and (hopefully) a=20=20
public=20statement, that the original DXPC code can be considered as=20=20
BSD-2-clause=20(the current license) also for released versions prior=20=20
2002=20when the ancient BSD license template [2] was still shipped with=20=
=20
DXPC.

For=20a complete follow-up, please check Debian bug #784565 [3].

We are aware that NoMachine forked DXPC at some early stage around the=20=
=20
year=202000 and wrote their own commercial product around it. Obviously,=20=
=20
this=20fork happened before 2002 (i.e., before DXPC release 3.8.1), as=20=

=20
nuisance.=20I may only guess at this point. I'd be happy to know more=20=20
(maybe=20not in this mail thread, though).

NoMachine has stopped publishing NXv3 updates a couple of years ago=20=20
(2011=20IIRC), now. The maintenance has been moved into the hands of the=20=
=20
currently=20available FLOSS projects "X2Go", "Arctica Project" [NEW] and=20=

=20
of=20us spend a lot of their free time on improving / maintaining=20=20
nx-libs=20(as we call NoMachine's NXv3 at the moment).

To outline the impact of my mail clearly: If you say that it was not=20=20
legal=20by NoMachine to fork DXPC at the given time (before 2002), then=20=
=20
all=20FLOSS remote desktop / remote application would be in real=20=20
trouble,=20because then the core component of their software projects=20=20
could=20not be considered as free (as in DFSG, Debian free software=20=20

=20
NoMachine=20might have been illegal in the first place. All current=20=20
maintenance=20activities and also planned future development on nx-libs=20=
=20
would=20become questionable.

Thus, I hope you can chime in on this: Dear developers of nx-libs,=20=20
please=20assume the BSD-2-license as retroactive and applicable to DXPC=20=

version=20earlier than 3.8.1. As the copyright holder, I agree with=20=20
modifications=20of code bases that originate before the change to=20=20

And... I will bring up that question later (but it is burning under my=20=

Hi Mike, et al,

    I am not the original author of dxpc, that being Brian Pane. However, I took over maintenance circa 1999 and am still the primary maintainer (though the project has effectively been dead for most of a decade now).

    As you are aware, when I inherited the code, it was licensed under a variant of the BSD license that did not include the 'with modification' clause. To the best of my recollection, somebody from the FSF contacted me circa 2001 regarding this and as a result, subsequent releases were done under a standard 2-clause BSD license with the modification clause. Again, to the best of my recollection, I contacted Brian about this change and he offered no objection.

    Further, I recall distinctly that NoMachine contacted me and explicitly asked permission before including DXPC code in NX, which I happily granted with no new conditions beyond the BSD license already in play.

    It is possible, though by no means certain, that I could dig up ancient email to corroborate this account if necessary. However, I am more than willing to publicly state that I believe NoMachine's use of DXPC code to be both legal and ethical, and that my intent when changing the license to 2-clause BSD was simply to clarity the existing intent and that it ought therefore be considered retroactive.

    Yours,
       Kevin Vigor

Hi Kevin,

thanks for your feedback. Let us wait for Francesco, our expert on license issues, and see what he thinks about your feedback.

Thank you very much for providing info and sharing pieces of nx-libs's history.

As you sent your reply to the Debian bug tracker already, this will public statement enough, I guess.

Thanks a lot,
Mike

I think that this is an important first step to solve this issue for
the best.
Kevin Vigor is one of the copyright owners of the code that was forked
before the re-licensing.
We now know that he intended the re-licensing to be retroactive and
this is really good.

I think that now it would be useful to ascertain that the other
copyright owners (Brian Pane, Zachary Vonler, Gian Filippo Pinzari) are
also OK with this interpretation of the re-licensing operation.

Maybe Kevin is able to dig the original conversations (assuming they
were carried on by e-mail or similar archived means) or otherwise to
get in touch with them and check? Or, alternatively, Kevin could help
Mike to get in touch with them?

I hope everything may be settled for the best soon.
Thanks a lot to everyone involved.

Hi all,

there has been an off-list mail exchange between Francesco and Kevin=20=20
(and=20me in Cc:) which I will quote at the end of this mail (as it was=20=

not=20meant to be private and we should fully document the flow on this=20=

issue).

@Kevin:=20I will take you off this mail thread's Cc: field with my next=20=

As stated by Kevin, Gian Filippo worked/works on the NoMachine side. I=20=

For Brian Pane we also found and e-Mail address, for Zach Vonler, I=20=20

As stated in the forwarded messages below, Kevin was unable to dig out=20=

any=20mails from backups. So we switch to plan B: contact Brian, Zach=20=20
and=20Gian Filippo.

I will do that.

I'm afraid I was not able to dig anything out of old backups last=20=20

which is almost certainly the right Brian Pane (he was at CNet at the=20=20

Thanks a lot for searching: this is really appreciated, at least from
my side.

Then I wonder how it was possible to re-license DXPC in 2002...

This could be really useful, thank you very much!

Mike, I hope the search may go on from there: Brian should be asked
about the retroactive nature of the re-licensing of DXPC and maybe he
also knows how to get in touch with Zachary and/or Gian Filippo...


P.S.: Kevin, any special reason why you dropped several addresses from
the Cc list? Should this part of our conversation be kept private for
the time being? Please clarify. Thanks!

I believe Gian worked on the NoMachine code; he has never contributed=20=20
to=20DXPC directly.

Zachary Vonler was allegedly the maintainer of DXPC for a while circa=20=20
1999,=20but never responded to any email when I attempted to contact=20=20
him,=20which is how I came to take over maintenance.

No, I was just trying to keep from spamming email lists unnecessarily.=20=
=20
I=20do not consider any part of this conversation private.

Good, then only Zachary has to be tracked down.

Let's hope Brian is able to help Mike in getting in touch with

TL;DR; So here comes my actual question: are you (Brian Pane, Zachary=20=20
Vonler,=20Gian Filippo Pinzari) ok with retroactively regarding=20=20
pre-3.8.1=20code of DXPC (that you probably all worked on at that time)=20=

A yes from all of you as DXPC copyright holders is essential for the=20=20
continuation=20of nx-libs development under a free license. This may=20=20
also=20possibly be an issue for NXv4 in case parts of it have been=20=20

Thanks to all of you for taking your time.

NXCOMP=20from DXPC some time between DXPC 3.7.0 and DXPC 3.8.0.

Questions to Kevin:

   o Is there any SVN upstream repo still online
     (I saw it in one of the tarballs, that SVN was
     used for 3.9.0).
   o Do you have any tarballs documenting the
     changes between 3.7.0 and 3.8.0? Do you also
     have the 3.8.1 tarball?
   o Did the 3.8.0 version of DXPC break proto
     compatibility (i.e., you could not use client
     3.7.0 and server 3.8.0 and vice versa with
     each other)?

Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks.

Mike

Yes, I am fine with considering the license change to be retroactive to
cover the time I was the maintainer.

I have no objections to others distributing modified versions of that code.

I'm afraid not. There was never an online repo available, and if I used one personally it is lost to the mists of time.

I have the source tarballs to each of those (including the 3.8.1 version). The 3.8.0 release includes a README-3.8.0 file which documents the changes between 3.7.0 and 3.8.0 reasonably well.

As will be (unfortunately) obvious from examining the deltas between 3.7.0 (the last release by Brian and/or Zachary) and 3.8.0 (the first release by me), I inherited a significant majority of the code.

Yes, minor version number bumps were used to indicate compatibility. 3.8.x was incompatible with 3.7.x (and also with 3.9.x).

By the way, poking around the interwebs I find there is an archive of the old DXPC mailing list available at:

http://marc.info/?l=dxpc&r=1&w=2

I think you will find this of particular interest:

The copyright banner in the Readme is all the documentation there's ever
been.  My intent was to allow _any_ distribution, use, and modification
of the source, without imposing restrictions on the licensing style of
any system into which others might incorporate the code.  We probably
should start stating this clearly in the distributions.

@Kevin: You are very awesome!

@Francesco: that old post from Brian should be the statement we need, right? As Brian has not answered back, so far, does that post suffice?

I also had a mail from Zach in my mailbox this morning. I managed to get hold of him via phone over the weekend. He posted his agreement to this Debian bug (as message #77) [1] earlier today. @Zach: thanks a lot for that!!!

@Francesco: by looking at [2], I cannot see any hint for Gian Filippo Pinzari being a copyright holder of DXPC. This is stated in the NoMachine files at at least one place, but not in the latest DXPC upstream release. I am on my mobile right now, need to check old versions of DXPC, but if Gian Filippo Pinzari is not listed in the DXPC 3.7.0 release (where nxcomp obviously got forked from), then I think that we don't require his feedback, right?

To my opinion, this issue can be settled. We have direct feedback from Kevin and Zach and Kevin dug out an old post from Brian stating the retroactive nature of the BSD-2-clause while Gian Filippo probably not being a real copyright holder of the original DXPC code. Right?

light+love,
Mike

Yes, I am under the impression that it may be considered as evidence
that Brian had always meant to grant permission to modify, despite not
being overly clear until DXPC version 3.8.1.
In other words, it seems that the re-licensing was more intended to be
a clarification, rather than a change of mind.

This is really great!

If it is confirmed that Gian Filippo contributed to the forking of DXPC
within the NoMachine project, but not directly to DXPC, then I think
that he made his contributions available under the terms of the GPL v2
of the NoMachine project.
If this is the case, no feedback should be required from his side.

Yes, I agree with this analysis.
The only missing check is the one about Gian Filippo's involvement (as
explained above).

Thanks a lot to everyone involved in this license fixing effort!
Bye.

I can confirm that Gian Fillippo never contributed directly to DXPC. 
You'll note his name does not appear in the DXPC README, and never has.

   o update debian/copyright accordingly

Maybe the entire bug log is an overkill...
I would include the relevant replies only. For instance:

In the debian/copyright file the license for the original DXPC code
should be replaced with the 2-clause BSD license (currently adopted for
DXPC) with a comment saying something like:

  The original DXPC code used to be available under a license which
  failed to explicitly grant the permission to modify, but was later
  retroactively re-licensed under the 2-clause BSD license (see
  debian/bug_784565_*.mbox for the copyright owners' statements; see
  <https://bugs.debian.org/784565> for more details)

Moreover, the copyright notice of Gian Filippo Pinzari should be
documented in some more appropriate part of the debian/copyright file,
associated with the NoMachine license (GPL v2 or later).

Again, I would not include the entire bug log, but only the relevant
messages (see above)...
