| remove-overreaching-citation-request.patch | Remove overreaching citation notice Quoting the gpl-faq: . > Does the GPL allow me to add terms that would require citation or > acknowledgment in research papers which use the GPL-covered software or its > output? (#RequireCitation) > . > No, this is not permitted under the terms of the GPL. While we recognize > that proper citation is an important part of academic publications, > citation cannot be added as an additional requirement to the GPL. Requiring > citation in research papers which made use of GPL'd software goes beyond > what would be an acceptable additional requirement under section 7(b) of > GPLv3, and therefore would be considered an additional restriction under > Section 7 of the GPL. And copyright law does not allow you to place such a > requirement on the output of software, regardless of whether it is licensed > under the terms of the GPL or some other license. . Therefore, removing this to make parallel GPL-compliant. |
