In +the past, I have not placed explicit licenses on my software packages, +expecting them to be consider in the public domain, and freely +distributable and modifiable. However, at the urging of Karl Berry +and Richard Stallman in their response to instances of unscrupulous +reuse of free software, I have starting adding explicit GPL licensing +as new package releases come out. It is not practical to retrofit +such licenses into older releases. + +The next release of bibclean will have such a license. + +I am at the tail end of a year-long book project, so many of my +software projects have been delayed. + +Recently, I found some time to work on the next version of bibclean, +which is primarily polishing of packaging, and enhancing portability +even further. That version will be bibclean-2-14, but it is quite +likely that it won't be out before late fall this year. + +It would therefore make sense to delay your Debian packaging until +then. In the meantime, you can continue to point people to the +official archive at + + ftp://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/bibclean + http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/bibclean + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +- Nelson H.
