Sorry I took so long to reply, I have unsubscribed to debian-user and left the mailbox to read sometime. Enlightenment will go to non-free, it seems. It's not uploaded yet because my maintainer registration proccess is halted. Also, I will not package DR10 as Rater said he'll be releasing DR11 soon.

They said this software is licensed under the GPL, except that it can't be used on a Windows PC. I believe that language may be faulty.

Last night I saw a message about perspective packages listing someone as working on an enlightment package for Debian. That seems to give a positive answer to my question. (ok, so it will be in non-free, no big deal, though I suppose anyone on this list would like it to be in the dist. itself). Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Actually, the part of the license which restricts it's use on Win95, might not be valid w/ the GPL. In talking with one of the people with Cygnus, the reason they couldn't release the GNU-WIN stuff under the LGPL for most people and everyone else could use the GPL, is because the [L]GPL doesn't allow you to modify it. So who knows, that might mean that it's under the GPL only. Shaya -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
