Without a running legal system, we have neither Free nor Open-Source Software. Only if the four rights have successfully been granted to us by the respective licenses, do we have, what we want to have: free accessible software. But for preserving these rights, we must thoroughly try to fulfill the conditions these FLOSS licenses impose on us: You can’t have the cake and eat it.
By calling this site via a browser, some Open-Source libraries are automatically delivered to the browser too. Therefore, we are obliged — roughly spoken — also to deliver the corresponding license and to name the copyright owner:
Paket | Lizenz | Kommentar |
---|---|---|
jquery.js | MIT | We use delivered by WordPress. It contains a respective header. |
Credits
*.fodina.de uses WordPress as backend software. WordPress is licensed under the GPL‑2.0 or later. We do not distribute that software, hence we are not obliged to fulfill any requirements. Nevertheless, it is an honor for us to state, that we are using this free software. The same holds true for the plugins we use:
Plugin | Lizenz | DSGVO Status |
---|---|---|
Antispam Bee | GPL-v2 | configured not transfer data to 3rd. parties |
Better Search Replace | GPL‑3.0 or later | no data transfer to 3rd. parties. Only for backend users (=me). |
Broken Link Checker | GPL‑2.0 or later | no data transfer to 3rd. parties. Only for backend users (=me). |
Duplicate Page | GPL-v2 | no data transfer to 3rd. parties. Only for backend users (= me) |
Duplicate Post | GPL-v2 | probably similar to duplicate page. Only for backend users (= me). |
Easy Footnotes | GPL‑3.0 | no data transfer to 3rd. parties. Only for backend users (=me). |
Post Type Switcher | GPL-v2 | probably no data transfer to 3rd. parties. Only for backend users (=me). |
Simple XML Sitemap Generator | GPL‑2.0 or later | probably no data transfer to 3rd. parties |
Shortcode in Menus | GPL-v2 | probably no data transfer to 3rd. parties |
TablePress | GPL-v2 | no data transfer to 3rd. parties |
WordPress Importer | GPL-v2 | no data transfer to 3rd. parties |
JavaScript libraries sometimes prevent us from successfully fulfill the requirements of their licenses. Their authors often deliberately distribute slimmed-down packages to improve performance:
JQuery & hoverIntend
Both, the uncompressed JQuery version and the compressed JQuery version contain a more or less small header with the copyright information and a link to a page with some information about the MIT license. hoverIntend is designed as a JQuery plugin. But none of them — neither the libs nor the plugin — contain the license text.
modernizr
modernizr is a set of functions that is compiled by a configuration process and offers only a short header with a small hint of the MIT license. This header does neither contain a copyright line nor the license text itself, the corresponding license page does not contain an adequate copyright line.
superfish
superfish is offered as a compressed and uncompressed javascript plugin for jQuery. It is double licensed under the MIT and/or the GPL. This implicitly means that one can select the license one needs. The compressed version as well as the uncompressed version only contains a small header without any license text.
