Seems the whole domain is bouncing.

Co-author of [2] responded quickly but has no contact any more.  I have
not found any e-mail of the co-author in [3].

It was a chance but unfortunately not.  Is there anybody linkedin (which
I'm not) to try there?

Kind regards

  Andreas.

There is one address in the same domain: 

  ajber...@nildram.co.uk

found at [1], and two co-authors, [2] and [3], with the latter having
some paper in 2006 and an other  document in 2008. 

Hope that helps,

the contact address has bounced.  Is there anybody who has any idea how to
contact the author Andrew James Bertie?

Kind regards

Please consider a free license for Java Statistical Classes

Hi,

I'm writing you on behalf of the Debian Med team which is a group inside
Debian with the objective to package free software in life sciences and
medicine for official Debian.  I intend to package ngopt[1] which
includes a copy of jsc.jar.

When checking the license of JSC[2] I realised that it is
non-distributable by Debian due the restrictions of usage and the missing
source code.  Considering that the download page on one hand says:

   Version 1.0  This is an incomplete beta release.

and on the other hand it seems not developed any more since

   Updated  15 August 2005

I'm wondering whether you might consider to release the source code
under a free license.  This would probably help the usage in several
free projects and possibly would enable some contributions to keep the
code up to date.

Kind regards and thanks for considering

  Andreas.
