Okay, a few more questions: |
|
|
|
* If Fedora decides to simply reproduce the quoted statement: |
|
"Uses Jimenez's MLAA. Copyright (C) 2010 by Jorge Jimenez, Belen Masia, |
|
Jose I. Echevarria, Fernando Navarro and Diego Gutierrez." |
|
|
|
Specifically, if this is done as part of documentation included with |
|
Mesa, is that sufficient to meet clause 2 even if the Mesa config option |
|
is not set as described in your exception? |
|
|
|
* Currently, the Mesa config option for MLAA says: "Morphological |
|
anti-aliasing based on Jimenez\' MLAA. 0 to disable, 8 for default |
|
quality". Is this in compliance with your exception? |
|
|
|
Thanks again, |
|

Hi Tom, |
|
|
|
What we meant with that is that we made an exception for clause 2. |
|
Instead of clause 2, in the case of the Mesa project, you have to name |
|
the technique Jimenez's MLAA in the config options of Mesa. We did that |
|
just to allow them to solve license issues. This exception should be for |
|
the Mesa project, and any project using Mesa, like Fedora. |
|
|
|
We want to widespread usage of our MLAA, so we want to avoid any kind of |
|
license complications. Hope current one is good for Fedora, if not |
|
please tell, and we'll see what we can do! |
|
|
|
Cheers, |
|
Jorge |

Subject: Question about Mesa MLAA license |
|
|
|
Jorge, |
|
|
|
Thanks for all of your fantastic graphics work! I have been auditing |
|
Fedora (a popular distribution of Linux) for license compliance and I |
|
came across your MLAA code in Mesa. |
|
|
|
The license says: |
|
|
|
* 2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the following |
|
statement: |
|
* |
|
* "Uses Jimenez's MLAA. Copyright (C) 2010 by Jorge Jimenez, Belen Masia, |
|
* Jose I. Echevarria, Fernando Navarro and Diego Gutierrez." |
|
* |
|
* Only for use in the Mesa project, this point 2 is filled by naming the |
|
* technique Jimenez's MLAA in the Mesa config options. |
|
|
|
That wording is unclear. When you say "Only for use in the Mesa |
|
project...", it seems like you could either be saying: |
|
|
|
- This code may only be used as part of Mesa. |
|
|
|
OR |
|
|
|
- In Mesa, you can comply with clause 2 by simply selecting "Jimenez's |
|
MLAA" in the Mesa config options. |
|
|
|
***** |
|
|
|
If the first item is true, then we may have to remove the MLAA code from |
|
Fedora's copy of Mesa. However, looking at the license on your SMAA |
|
code, I do not believe it to be the case. Please let me know either way! |
|
|
|
Thanks in advance, |
|
