[PKG-Openstack-devel] Comments regarding pyzabbix_0.7.4-1_amd64.changes

[Michal Arbet]

Hello Chris,

I'm not sure if I understand you clearly.
In README.markdown is specified that ..

Original Python Library is Copyright (C) 2009 Brett Lentz
brett.lentz(at)gmail(dot)com

 - If I google zabbix-api and Author name Brett Lentz ,  i can find this
git repo on github for it  https://github.com/blentz/zabbix_api
   And https://github.com/blentz/zabbix_api/blob/master/zabbix/setup.py
contains following
   >>>

   setup(
       name='zabbix-api',
       url='https://github.com/gescheit/scripts',
       version='0.1',
       license='GNU LGPL 2.1',
       author='Aleksandr Balezin',
       author_email='gescheit at list.ru',
       description='Zabbix API',
       long_description=read('README'),
       py_modules=['zabbix_api'],
       include_package_data=True,
       zip_safe=False,
       platforms='any',
   )



 - In pip i can find that package  and show details :

   >>>
   Name: zabbix-api
   Version: 0.5.3
   Summary: Zabbix API
   Home-page: https://github.com/gescheit/scripts
   Author: Aleksandr Balezin
   Author-email: gescheit12 at gmail.com
   License: GNU LGPL 2.1
   Location: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
   Requires:


In a package python-pyzabbix what I've created isn't any import for
zabbix_api , so Luke Cyca was only inspired ( maybe took over some code ..
) ..
So for me it sounds it is not derivative, because not importing anything
from zabbix_api

So , I think there is no need to specify anything in copyright ....

Please, correct me if I am wrong .
If I am wrong , please, could you advice me how to describe and specify
this "inspiration" ( or how I can call it  ) in copyright file ?


Thanks,
Michal Arbet ( Kevin ;-) )
