In +particular, the nonviolence provision, despite good +intentions is bad news for a permissive or free license. +Vaguely worded in the copyright legal sense.  The "bruising +egos" note doesn't have legal value and doesn't belong in a +license to begin with. + +The "competing library" clause is just bad news for an +non-viral implicit grant... + +In case you want to get rid of it as dependency, delete +`libopentrack-tracker-wii' from your `modules` directory. +That'll get rid of all uses of this library, and the license +will no longer be in force. + +When building opentrack from source, you can also add +add `if(FALSE) as the first line of +`tracker-wii/CMakeLists.txt` and `endif()` as the last line. +That will prevent building the library altogether, making the +license also not apply. + +In plain terms, deleting `libopentrack-tracker-wii` will get +rid of ALL references to the WiiYourself library.  The terms +will be null and void in that build. + +I hope the license only applies when the code is actually +used, not merely linked into a process. + +-- Stanislaw Halik + +License text follows: + +____________________________________________________________ + +  - WiiYourself! - native C++ Wiimote library  v1.15 +    (c) gl.tter 2007-10 - http://gl.tter.org +____________________________________________________________ + + LICENSE:  My Wiimote library is free for any use (including +            commercial), with the following conditions: + +1) You may not use it to harm anyone, directly or +    indirectly. * this includes, but is not limited to, any +    kind of direct or indirect MILITARY use or related +    research * + +   (but bruising egos is fine ;). + +2) Any distribution in binary form (ie. linked with your +   program) must include the following text in your +   distribiutions's documentation (ReadMe file, help file, +   About box and/or splash screen): + +   "contains WiiYourself! wiimote code by gl.tter +    http://gl.tter.org" + +3) Any distribution in source code form must keep all my +   copyright notices intact unmodified (you can add to +   them if you've made changes), and must include this +   license text (either include this file in your +   distribution, or paste its contents into your +   distribution's own licence file). + +4) You may not use the code to produce a competing +    library, unless you rewrite all of it considerably +    (for example to convert it to another language, but +    you need to contact me for written permission first). + +   Instead please contribute new features, fixes and ideas +    to my mailining list (see ReadMe.txt). +__ + +gl.tter  (http://gl.tter.org | glATr-i-lDOTnet) +  |
