Green Dam, China's Censorship Software, Built With Copyright Violations

China has a new policy that has angered PC makers. The policy states that all new computers sold in China must be come with prepackaged censorship software--the contents of which were not made known to the PC makers. Industry leaders were concerned for both technical and moral reasons.

It appears now that the censorship software, the Green Dam, has violated open source copyrights by removing the attribution code that is required in order to use the open source code. This software named Green Dam "Youth Escout" develped by Zhenzhou Jinhui Computer System Co. Ltd of China deleted the BSD license document which should be included in OpenCV.
