Re: greetings! - PennMUSH debian package

A few months back, I attempted to package TinyMUSH 3.0, but ran into some trouble with a few clauses that seemed to imply something wasn't quite DFSG free. I had submitted a report to the developers, and they expressed interest in making it compliant. I haven't really done much with the package sin
