Hi ImageMagick,

We had build an ImageMagick-6.3.8-11 RPM for i386 and x86_64 for our internal usage, although we are not selling the rpm packages we had made, we just want to make sure we are abiding in your rights.

We had name the rpm packages as -
imagemagick-'name_of_our_company'-6.3.8-11.x86_64.rpm
imagemagick-'name_of_our_company'-6.3.8-11.i386.rpm

Any necessary steps we should do?


Thanks.

Have you read http://www.imagemagick.org/script/license.php? It describes the license in simple terms:
The text of the license lets just review what the license says in simple terms:

It allows you to:

It forbids you to:

* redistribute any piece of ImageMagick-originated software without proper attribution;
* use any marks owned by ImageMagick Studio LLC in any way that might state or imply that ImageMagick Studio LLC endorses your distribution;

It requires you to:

* include a copy of the license in any redistribution you may make that includes ImageMagick software;

* submit changes that you make to the software back to the ImageMagick Studio LLC (though such feedback is encouraged).

A few other clarifications include:

* ImageMagick is freely available without charge;
* you may include ImageMagick on a DVD as long as you comply with the terms of the license;

Thanks for the quick reply.

We had already included the ImageMagick license text in it, and we made it clear in the package that it came from ImageMagick.

We are good then.


Thanks.
