I can share it. Give me a day or so. The build is ... complicated. >> It is pretty terrible, but if I find the time, I may be able to make >> a proper package.

Ok. > Nevertheless, I still have to discuss with legal whether distributing > this package complies with the DFSG. For what it is worth, I am a regular on debian-legal. In this link http://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/toolkit//C/PC_Linux_GCC_64bit/packages/README I see a disclaimer, but no right to modify. This link https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/rules.html allows modification, but not simple redistribution? To make things even more muddy, this presentation https://indico.esa.int/indico/event/111/session/27/contribution/130/material/slides/0.pdf says that it is "free of licensing". So it is pretty clear that we have to get a clarification on what, exactly, the license is. It looks like the person to talk to is the NAIF manager at JPL. His contact info is in the 'rules' link. Clarifying this could, potentially, take a while. Cheers, Walter Landry
