I am very please that you answered for me and all the Debian users.
I know that the license problem is frustrating and somehow a bad issue,
but Debian has got a coherent (in my opinion) way to treat the software.
I am going to investigate and analyze your link futher more and possibly
ask for a support by the more competent guys (than me).
Let's keep in touch and I wish you also a good vacation

Cheers
