Aparentemente nada prohibe modificar el scilab y distribuirlo comercialmente, si estaria prohibido hacerlo con una nueva obra derivada del scilab
me parece que no es ese el concepto. si modificas scilab y lo redistribuis, ya no es "el scilab", es una obra derivada de scilab. lo mismo para cualquier otro programa. o sea, aunque el cambio sea minimo, ya no es exactamente la misma obra. la misma licencia de scilab dice: " 2- Definitions The SOFTWARE is defined as all successive versions of SCILAB software and their documentation that have been developed by INRIA and ENPC. SCILAB DERIVED SOFTWARE is defined as all or part of the SOFTWARE that you have modified and/or translated and/or adapted " y wikipedia sobre esta licencia dice: " The Scilab web page describes it as "open source" software, but it is not "open source" according to the widely accepted open source definition, and is semi-free software according to the nomenclature of the Free Software Foundation. The reason for this is that the Scilab license's prohibition of commercial distribution or use of modified versions of Scilab contradicts clause 6 of the open source definition " lo bueno es que (segun dice wikipedia, y ademas se puede verificar en internet), la proxima version de scilab va a publicarse bajo una licencia libre (la cecill francesa, que ademas es compatible con gpl2). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scilab#License http://forum.framasoft.org/viewtopic.php?t=28481 https://launchpad.net/scilab -- Santiago Roza [email protected]
