Hi Pali and mentors, (redirecting the question to -mentors, because I don't have a strong opinion on this)

If there are or there >are not law problems it is probably question for other people... there should be a verbatim copy of the license included in the upstream tarball look e.g. to https://ftp-master.debian.org/REJECT-FAQ.html License II and III sections so, either you have to document how the license is obtained, or how to reproduce the files generation. I know licenses are a waste of time for somebody (they were for me when I started my contributions in Debian :p )... but they are the best way to get your package rejected by ftpmasters! So, this point is really a showstopper for the inclusion in Debian of the tool (BTW if you want to ask ftpmasters about their opinion let me know their answer). I would like to avoid uploading and get a reject, but I would consider an upload with a ping to ftpmasters about this issue. cheers, Gianfranco Il Martedì 26 Aprile 2016 23:07, Pali Rohár <[email protected]> ha scritto: On Thursday 21 April 2016 10:16:29 Pali Rohár wrote: > On Tuesday 19 April 2016 08:36:49 Gianfranco Costamagna wrote: > > Hi, > > > > >There is no more info about it just as it is public domain, no > > >more license texts...
