Please unblock package getlive I was planning to upload the latest upstream release in June, when I detected that the source code (including the one currently in the archive) embeds a piece of code that is non-free (non-commercial clause), see #677005. Also, both the current version in the archive, and the last one released by upstream are useless, as the Hotmail page has changed. Upstream has fixed a while ago the functionality problem, and just fixed the freeness issue. Both are in CVS only. Since the code is not exactly stellar, and there were many changes, I don't feel comfortable backporting the hotmail fix, and fixing the freeness issue would mean a source repackaging that includes code changes, so I think that uploading the latest version is going to cause a lot less issues. TL;DR: please, accept this unblock exception :-) unblock getlive/2.4+cvs20120801-1 -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (900, 'stable-updates'), (900, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
