It would be nice if INCHI support is enabled
when building rdkit for Debian.
If you point me to the bugtracker where I should report
this (not found after 10min of searching...), I might report it there.
This has already been reported as [#964773]. In short, rdkit cannot be
built with INCHI support in Debian due to DFSG reasons (please see the
original bug report for explanation).

Thanks Andrius for the pointer. By the way, I've looked at the INCHI
licenes again, and clause 3 allows to use the INCHI code under the GPL,
was it considered to just go that route in Debian or is there some other
loophole I don't see?
Maybe RDKit could be changed in some way to build against both INCHI
versions, but if that is possible at all, it sounds like a major
project.
Francois, what might help here is opening an issue with RDKit's GitHub
issue tracker and asking them about supporting both versions.
Michael

An ideal case would be to convince the inchi upstream to change the
license to a more permissive one (may be it is enough to change the
wording only).
Just for reference, here is the thread about inchi licensing, but no
consensus so far:
