So the software is clearly not DSFG compliant, but distribution is
authorized not-for-profit. Could it go in non-free?
As a second hypothesis, we could write an installer for this software (a
small package that would download the software on the user's machine
during pre-inst, and install it). What section could it go to then?
Contrib?
Would there be something mandatory to do, like displaying the license,
asking the user if he accepts it, ...?
Thanks for your answers.
Daniel
