This is an alternative to #10: It adds copyright and license information for all files of the package, and also allows to build the software without files that are not conform to the Open Source Definition. These files are (in obm/ObmW):

  • HTMLjot.c, HTMLparse.c, HTMLlists.c, HTMLwidgets.c, HTMLP.h, HTMLamp.h, HTMLformat.c, HTML.h, HTML-PSformat.c, HTML.c, HTMLimages.c

  • inkstore.h

  • Table.c, Table.h, TableP.h, TableUtil.c, TableUtil.h, Xraw/Table.h, Xraw/TableP.h, Xraw/TableUtil.h, Xraw/ScrolledTable.h, Xraw/xraw_table.h, Xraw/Frame.h, Xraw/FrameP.h

The limitations that make these files non-compliant are

  • limitation to non-commercial use

  • no modifications allowed

To compile the package without these files, use the OSI_COMPLIANT=YES environment variable:

$ OSI_COMPLIANT=YES make

This removes some obm functionality, namely the HTML widget (used f.e. for displaying the IRAF manual pages, or the help in ximtool), and the Table widget.

This is mainly taken from the Debian package, and complemented by the licenses
of the non-free software.
This patch enables the compilation with a "OSI_COMPLIANT=YES" environment
variable. In this case, only Open Source files are used to build the
executables.
