[Debian-med-packaging] Please clarify license of Copyright Los Alamos National Security, LLC files [ftpmaster at ftp-master.debian.org: librandom123_1.09-1_amd64.changes REJECTED]

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

as wrote in my last mail I intend to package Random123 for Debian.
Before any software can be included into Debian a thorough check of
licenses is done by our ftpmaster team.  One of them has found issues
with two files.  Could you please clarify the permission for using and
disrtibuting these files?

Kind regards

        Andreas.

Hi Andreas,

the file headers of:
 Random123-1.09/include/Random123/features/pgccfeatures.h
 Random123-1.09/include/Random123/features/xlcfeatures.h
say:

Copyright (c) 2013, Los Alamos National Security, LLC
All rights reserved.

"(...)The U.S. Government has rights to use, reproduce, and distribute 
this software.(...)"

But what about my rights? 

  Thorsten
