Hello, I'm working on porting this software on the OpenBSD ports tree. However, I am unsure on what this means for redistribution as the OpenBSD ports tree, by default, mirrors source code archives. I can set PERMIT_DISTFILES = No to override this behavior and I have as the license states rights to transfer is disallowed:
The licensor grants you a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to use, copy, distribute, make available, and prepare derivative works of the software, in each case subject to the limitations below.
As I understand this license:
Right
Possible?
Reason
Create a derivative work
✅ Yes
Allowed for personal/internal use only.
Distribute derivative
❌ No
Non-transferable; no right to sublicense.
Create binary packages
✅ Yes
Only for personal/internal use.
Distribute binary package
❌ No
Non-transferable; no right to sublicense.
Include in Linux/BSD distro
❌ No
Non-transferable; cannot grant usage rights.
If the latter is true, then we cannot distribute source distfiles, but we can distribute binary packages. I'm unsure, but this license seems to concern largely patenting concerns as I presume this disallows commercial use without paying the author. All in all the wording is very confusing and I am no legal expert. Am I correct on this? @alexbatalov
