Package: wnpp Severity: normal
I have no time and interest in this package anymore, so I orphan it. The packaging is in normal shape, though it has some normal bugs open (the one RC is for keeping it out of testing). DCC's upstream decided to change it's license to non-free according DFSG with version 1.3.0 stating: "The Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse source carries a license that is free to organizations that do not sell filtering devices or services except to their own users and that participate in the global DCC network." Communication with upstream was somehow hard, as he seemed to blacklist several ip ranges, including master's and murphy's ip-range as well as the ip-range i ussualy used for mailing. So neither mailing him directly nor mailing to the mailing list was possible (at least when i last tried in Jan 2006). If you intend to take that package, please consider moving it to non-free, as upstreams license is non-free according to DFSG ยง6. See also popcon stats about DCC at [1]. Spamassassin (in stable) suggests dcc-client, so dcc-client is quite often installed.
