Hi,

This manual and the Fatback program are for @strong{government and law
enforcement use only}.
which is incompatible to the DFSG.
The copyright of getopt.* is also not documented in the copyright file.
Cheers,

The above copyright statement seems to be a weak attempt to restrict
usage of the fatback program, but this is likely not enforceable.
Works of the US Goverment are, in general, not copyrightable at all.
See: http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html
105. Subject matter of copyright: United States Government works
Copyright protection under this title is not available for any
work of the United States Government, but the United States
Government is not precluded from receiving and holding copyrights
transferred to it by assignment, bequest, or otherwise.
Perhaps the copyright were transferred, but I would be surprised. In
any case, I agree that some investigation may need to be done before
establishing that it is indeed in the public domain.

Hi,
I did not try to solve the situtation ... that seems unsolvable.
As far as I'm not very happy with the use of fatback (not good results)
and the fact that the licenses are not suitable for inclusion into
Debian, I propose to not package fatback and concentrate our effort on
better tools.
