Hi Dave,


Must of had a esp moment as I had just drafted an email to you regarding the glut license field, I will add a 'Restrictive/Distributable' licence field to it sometime today as I also have to add a missing 'BuildDependsOnly: True' field to it as well.

Here is a list of stable packages missing the MD5, there are many other

important of those:


Warning: File name should be automake-1.6.3-1.info

Warning: No license specified. (glut-3.7-3.info)

Matt,

I looked at glut, and I guess there is some ambiguity in the sentence
"The programs are not in the
public domain, but they are freely distributable without licensing
fees."

(Depends on whether it means that people don't have to pay the author a
licensing fee, or that distributors are prevented from collecting
licensing fees.)

So I guess the license should either be "OSI-Approved", or
"Restrictive/Distributable".  Which one shall we use?

(This is the only package in the stable tree with no license specified,
and I'd like to fix that.)
