We've had some small movement in the form of the BitTorrent Open Source Licence 1.1, but it still isn't enough movement to consider it free according to the debian-legal people. The current summary is: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/10/msg00066.html I can ping the authors again, but I don't think they'll be that responsive. It's a pretty big hurdle to them, because they want to be able to preserve their trademarks, etc. At this point I'm seriously considering just taking the package to non-free. It has gone through so many improvements the version in Debian now is almost a shame. -- Michael Janssen --- Jamuraa --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
