Hi Jack,

I just downloaded and read there license in detail. And no, displaying  
their confid.doc file before installation is *not* sufficient to  
comply with their license.

In particular, the moment you add this .info file to SVN, our master  
mirrors would automatically start holding a copy of the source file,  
in *direct* violation of the procheck license.

The following clauses in their license make this software unpackagable  
in my eyes:

"
1. We will receive the Software and any related documentation in  
confidence [...]

4. All forms of the Software will be kept in a reasonably secure place  
to
prevent unauthorised access.
"

Clause 4 and our source mirrors violate this.


Bye,
Max
