The reason why I wasn't too concerned about this is that it's the exact same license as is used for the krb5 packages, which are also in main. Indeed,I never noticed this before. Apparently this has been discussedon debian-legal, but I have not read through everything yet. I'm going to poke around here at Stanford and see if I can get approval to change the license to remove the export bits and just go to a pure MIT license. That would be great, thanks a lot for your efforts! Cheers Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The reason why I wasn't too concerned about this is that it's the exact same license as is used for the krb5 packages, which are also in main. However, the whole export control stuff is probably irrelevant, since kstart doesn't actually have general encryption hooks, only hooks that use encryption as part of authentication, which as I recall is not actually export-controlled.
