以某种直接或者间接的方式获得了 Mandriva Powerpack 的副本,是否可以自由传播呢?
Mandriva 的答案如下(附我的理解):
- Definitions
- Commercial Products :
- The Mandriva Linux Distributions which are sold in retail,
- e-commerce, and directly by Mandriva its partners and distributors.
- These include (but are not restricted to) Powerpack, Corporate
- Server, and Corporate Desktop.
复制代码
以上说明 Mandriva Powerpack 版本是一个“商业产品”。
- Can I distribute Commercial Products for free?
- No. Certain third ***** software, not governed by a free software
- license, is bundled with commercial products. Additionally, you may
- not use the Mandriva name, trademarks and logos (which is our
- business responsibility to protect), without prior agreement.
复制代码
以上回答了“能否自由传播 Mandriva 的商业产品?”这个问题。答案是“不行。”
其原因不仅仅是因为 Mandriva 的商业版本中包含了不遵从自由软件协议的第三方软件,而且因为 Mandriva 的名称、商标和标识是受保护的,不能在未得到 Mandriva 事先允许下使用。
- I am a Powerpack subscriber. Can I distribute Power Pack?
- No. Powerpack contains third ***** software covered by
- proprietary licenses and are thus not redistributable. Additionally,
- these are premium products offered to subscribers as part of their
- subscription. Thus, they are not intended to be freely distributed.
- However, if you wish to become a Mandriva distributor, we would
- gladly welcome you as a Mandriva Partner and establish a win/win
- agreement. See our Partner Page.

以上着重强调了作为一名 Powerpack 的直接受益者,不能够传播 Powerpack。
按照我对这段文字的理解,Powerpack 的光盘(不论是下载的还是实物购买的)都只是 Powerpack 这个服务的一部分。因此不能认为“只要不去用 Powerpack *其他*的服务就行”。
那么如果你觉得 Powerpack 中的东西真的非常好,硬要跟别人分享,有没有 Mandriva 同意的方法呢?似乎是有的:
- Can I distribute the modifications I performed on the commercial
- versions of Mandriva Linux without asking Mandriva?
- Yes, but only if you remove all software that is not covered by a
- Free Software license. Also, all registered trademarks, brands,
- names and logos related to Mandriva must be removed. If you do
- not comply with these terms, you are not allowed to distribute the
- modifications as this would constitute an infringement of the
- intellectual property rights owned by each software owner. Also,
- you may not call this product "Mandriva Linux" or any other name
- related to Mandriva so our clients will not be confused by projects
- that we are not associated with.

只要你对 Powerpack 作了如下改动,Mandriva 就同意你自由传播你的成果:
1、删除 Powerpack 中所有不遵从自由软件协议的软件
2、删除由 Mandriva 注册拥有的所有商标、品牌、名称和标识
3、不能把你的成果称为“Mandriva Linux”,或者其它能让人产生不正确联想的名称
