[Trisquel-devel] abrowser addons was Re: Packaged Youtube ALL HTML5

[Legimet]

The source is usually in the xpi file. I looked at one extension "Flash Video 
Downloader" and the mozilla addons page says MPL 1.1, but when I opened the 
xpi, I found a file with the following contents:

Before getting down to using this plug-in, please, take the time to read the 
terms of use stated in the current license agreement. Any use of this program 
implies that you have read and accepted these terms to the fullest extent.

1) Flash Video Downloader Plug-In is designed for downloading flash-content 
(video, games, music, etc.) with the help of the 
http://flashvideodownloader.org/ service, which gets opened in a new Firefox 
Internet browser window when needed.

2) All the information received by http://flashvideodownloader.org/ is used 
solely for purposes listed in clause 1.

3) http://flashvideodownloader.org/ disclaims any legal responsibility for 
further use of the content downloaded with the help of the service.

This is clearly nonfree as it violates Freedom 0.

Wrt deleting entries, the Trisquel Team page on the wiki, which seems 
out of date (the graphics site mentioned no longer exists), says 
SirGrant maintains the links.  I know from experience he has 
additional permissions for the Issue system, so  PM him via the web site 
with a list of what to delete and why.  Perhaps he can still delete 
them.

 Ah, I see. I think there has been some confusion, as most 
 contributors
 to the addons list put the download link in the link-to-source-code
 field. Perhaps they read it incorrectly.

 I am unable to delete entries however.

 I would say no, since without source code, 2 of the 4 freedoms are

 their
 source code? Should I still include them?

 Hi thanks, not sure what to name this thread now. I'll be sure

 starting a new thread by replying to the list.

 Oh dear god I don't know what happened to that paste. The link 
 seems to
 have stopped working (the host
may have deleted it!!!), although 
 it was
 supposed to have stayed active for 30 days. I should have saved 
 a local
 copy... What a pity. Not using hastebin anymore!!! (If anyone 
 saved a
 copy, let me know)

 At least I have some sense of which extensions they were. It 
 won't be
 hard to add them. Working on it now.

 I scouted out a bunch of freedom friendly addons (judged based 
 on the
 licenses) we can add to Abrowser. If you give me the 
 permission, I will
 add them to the list.

 Note: Although there is an entry on the abrowser addons index,
 Firegloves is unfortunately no longer available on the Mozilla 
 addon
 site (404).

 [Thread jacked stuff removed]

 Firstly, well done for doing the research and being willing to 
 do more.

 AFAIK the only person who can give permission for anything 
 Trisquel is
 Rubén.  However, as on the RH pane of the Trisquel.info site 
 when
 you're logged in there's an entry Create Content with a 
 sub-entry
 Add-On available to
all users, then it doesn't look like you 
 need
 permission in the first place.

 The English page it links to [1] has a number fields, like a 
 combo box
 of approved licenses, description and several URLs for use in 
 the
 Add-on entry.  If you want some QA, then prep your entries in a 
 self
 explanatory text file (unbroken URLs) and post them here with a 
 long
 post warning in the subject.  I for one will do some checking 
 as and
 when I'm well enough (I'm disabled).  But, best post here 
 rather than
 send directly so others might pick it up if I'm not.

 While there's no 'use netiquette' rules posted for trisquel-dev 
 and
 I'm not in a position to make policy please from a practical 
 point of
 view do not in future top post to an extant bottom posted 
 thread.  In
 this case it didn't matter, but in an ongoing discussion it will
 rapidly mean no one
can follow the flow of conversation in 
 later quoting.

 Lastly well done for doing the research and being will to do 
 more again.
