Thank you for inquiring. The licensing situation is unclear, but that's something for Debian to worry about after upload, I don't think I'll get a straight answer before that. I haven't had much time for this recently, but my todo list consists of: * Switch to the tarball used by FreeBSD (and soon Gentoo) at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/thierry/ * Conduct a thorough license/copyright "audit" of the tarball to make sure we have everything documented in the copyright file. * Upload to non-free, will probably take several iterations to get in. * Separate out the non-free bits. * Upload to main with non-free parts in separate package, again will probably take several iterations. * Use Jason Kraftcheck's scripts to separate it into a few packages, and re-upload. Are you interested in helping with any of the above? -Adam -- GPG fingerprint: D54D 1AEE B11C CE9B A02B C5DD 526F 01E8 564E E4B6 Engineering consulting with open source tools http://www.opennovation.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
