Status: Closed

Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Russell Bryant (russellbryant) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Add m4 macros used for configure script improvements

Initial Comment: This patch will add a new file, acinclude.m4, which is a small library of m4 macros used to make adding certain things to the configure script much easier. It is a raw copy from the file's source (Asterisk). All of the macro prefixes are AST, but they have been left intact, to ease keeping this file up to date with the original one.

This is required before any of the other configure script related patches can be applied.

Yes, this stuff is licensed under the GPLv2. So, it can not be added to Pd.

In that case, I would like to remove it from Pd-extended, as well. I'm not interested in maintaining this stuff if it can't go into mainline Pd ...

You're right. Asterisk is distributed under the GPL. However, we actually don't have any license text in the headers of our configure script related files. Let me go clarify this on the legal side of things and I will post the result here ...

IIRC, Asterisk uses the GPL while Pd-vanilla uses a BSD-style license. Is the copyright holder for that file from Asterisk alright with that file being released under a BSD-style license? Otherwise, that file can't be included in Pd-vanilla. (it could still be included in Pd-extended, but it means maintaining it as a separate patch to Pd-vanilla, which is less than appealling).
