RE: ITP: graphviz (and doxygen?)
If Debian has put it under non-free it does not meet Debian's poliy for main. It's problamy not compatible with GPL or the OpenSource Definition For reference: http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/license/index.html http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/download.html I could not find the license under OSD Approved Licenses. And it's way too longer to get an idea about it without spending several hours with a lawyer 8-( http://www.opensource.org/licenses/index.php Gareth, If all you need in GraphViz is DOT, you may consider distributing VCG (http://rw4.cs.uni-sb.de/users/sander/html/gsvcg1.html) instead. It's graph description language is very similar to DOT's, and it's GPL'd. Hrmm looks interesting, I've had no luck finding an interface to doxygen yet though, which is the only thing 'I' use dot for. I think I'll at least package up a new doxygen for now. Graphviz is still short on votes ;) - reguardless of its legal status.
