@Frederico: I guess we are through then.

Yes, it seems so (I'm assuming you meant to direct this question to
me...).

Yes. :-)

For fixing this issue (in terms of closing the bug), I propose this
for downstream (i.e., Debian):

   o copy bug_784565.mbox [1] into the debian/ folder of the
nx-libs-lite package

Maybe the entire bug log is an overkill...
I would include the relevant replies only. For instance:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=40;mbox=yes;bug=784565
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=77;mbox=yes;bug=784565
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=87;mbox=yes;bug=784565
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=102;mbox=yes;bug=784565

ACK.

   o upload some latest release of nx-libs-lite 3.5.0.x to unstable
   o update debian/copyright accordingly

In the debian/copyright file the license for the original DXPC code
should be replaced with the 2-clause BSD license (currently adopted for
DXPC) with a comment saying something like:

  The original DXPC code used to be available under a license which
  failed to explicitly grant the permission to modify, but was later
  retroactively re-licensed under the 2-clause BSD license (see
  debian/bug_784565_*.mbox for the copyright owners' statements; see
  <https://bugs.debian.org/784565> for more details)

Moreover, the copyright notice of Gian Filippo Pinzari should be
documented in some more appropriate part of the debian/copyright file,
associated with the NoMachine license (GPL v2 or later).

   o close this bug via debian/changelog

For upstream, I propose this:

   o copy bug_784565.mbox into the docs/ folder

Again, I would not include the entire bug log, but only the relevant
messages (see above)...

   o update copyright information in nxcomp/ subfolder

   o this will be for the upcoming 3.6.x release series of nx-libs

   o this should also be backported to the 3.5.x release series

o provide some README or such that shortly explains our last weeks' process

Doing all the above now.

Thanks to all,
Mike
