NO: dado que las patentes de software acá no existen
no es legal una patente de software en Argentina y otros países (no sé cuáles), por lo cual cualquier software libre mp3 acá es libre.
Claro, claro, yo me refería a que por motivos de licencias Debian es el que no lo incluia en sus repositorios, que son los que utilizamos en Musix.
Es que Debian está registrado al menos en EEUU (y alguna vez leí que tenía su sede comercial o algo así allí (no puedo encontrarlo ahora)) Debian's Trademark Trademark Licensing Policy Debian is registered trademark of Software in the Public Interest, Inc. and managed by the Debian project. The trademark was registered the 21st of December of 1999 but has been in use since August 1993. It is registered under the Nice Class 009: "Computer Utility and Operating System Software". The current policy was announced by Bruce Perens, Debian Project Leader, in 1998: "We allow all businesses to make reasonable use of the "Debian" trademark. For example, if you make a CD of our Debian GNU/Linux distribution, you can call that product "Debian". If you want to use the name in some other way, you should ask us first." "To be fair to all businesses, we insist that no business use the name "Debian" in the name of the business, or a domain name of the business." Work in Progress As announced by Martin Michlmayr, Debian Project Leader, in 2003 (also available as SPI resolution 2003-06-03-bmh.1), a Trademark Committee was started to review SPI's trademark policy. This committee can be contacted at [email protected]. Currently there are two drafts for the trademark policy, one drafted by Benjamin Mako Hill and a different one drafted by Branden Robinson. Registration outside the US A similar trademark has been registered by some other associations related to the Debian Project over the world, this includes debian JP in Japan (registered in 2002), as well as Stiftelsen SLX Debian Labs in Norway, Debian Spain Association in Spain (registered in 2007) and Vincent Renardias in France. Organisations licensed to use the trademark The following organistions have been licensed to use the Debian trademark through a License Agreement: * Stiftelsen SLX Debian Labs, per SPI's resolution 2004-01-05.bmh.1. * Vincent Renardias and "Les logiciels du soleil", per SPI's resolution 1999-08-06.mgs. * The Debian UK Society, by Branden Robinson, Debian Project Leader.
Sabiendo esto entonces podemos incluirlo en nuestro repositorio sin problemas.
