PS: I wonder how they came to the idea that this is a open source license... Here's their license text: http://lite.ip2location.com/terms-of-use Note, this is explicitly the text for the LITE versions! Quote: "RESERVATION OF RIGHTS Hexasoft retains all right, title and interest (including, without limitation, copyright and database rights) in and to the IP2Location Products and the Information, and to the form and content thereof. Hexasoft also reserves all rights not expressly granted to Licensee by this Agreement. No portion of the IP2Location Products may be copied, reproduced, modified, published, uploaded, posted, transmitted or distributed in any way without Hexasoft prior written permission. Neither the subscription granted to Licensee by Hexasoft hereunder nor this Agreement or any of its provisions provide Licensee with any title to or ownership rights or interest in the IP2Location Products or Documentation (or any component of either), but only a right of limited access and use as expressly set forth herein. " (The "License Restritctions" are also fun to read) So, CLEARLY non-free --> ip2location is not suitable for main. -- tobi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
