Bug#574544: [afflib] contains files released under a non-free license
Here is the answer of the upstream author about this problem: Those files are public domain, which means that they are distributed without a license. This is the least restrictive way of distributing content on the planet. You can do anything you want with that. You are correct, however. The last sentence is not in the spirit of the PD. This verbiage is from NIST and it is clearly not legal. We will remove it from the next release. So, I will close this bug when packaging the next release (I will skip the current 3.5.8). Untill then, I'm not sure of what to do and what is the Debian way to handle this problem. -- Christophe Monniez christophe.monn...@fccu.be ___ forensics-devel mailing list forensics-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/forensics-devel
Debian-Forensics team working towards Squeeze?
Hi, following the Bits from the Release Team: What should go into squeeze?[1] I'd like to coordinate some kind of a virtual bug squashing party within the Debian forensics team. What I'm thinking of: * make sure all our packages are up2date (matching current upstream release) * make sure that all our packages have proper support for the afflib, ewf,... formats * get rid of any present bugs, especially the RC ones - related to http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=forensics-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org * check out which new additional packages should be integrated, related to http://wiki.debian.org/DebianForensics/TODO I'd work on a new wiki page at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianForensics for coordinating the efforts if some of you are interested in joining. What do you think about it? BTW: Anyone of you planning to join DebConf10? http://debconf10.debconf.org/ [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/03/msg5.html regards, -mika- signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ forensics-devel mailing list forensics-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/forensics-devel

What do you think about it? Thanks for your initiative :) BTW: Anyone of you planning to join DebConf10? http://debconf10.debconf.org/ I will. I usually work for the video team during DCs, but working on forensics team this year would be great.
