Hi folks, Thanks, Paul, for your insights. For your information, we have released AICCU today, using a BSD license as described. This should permanently take care of any legal issues you might have.

The transition from non-free to main will have to go through the FTP Masters anyway, and that's a non-trivial delay generally.
I have heard from ftp masters in the past that they are willing to take this on (around 14/Aug/2006, Anthony Towns, via Philipp Kern). Perhaps it is still a possibility.
Anand, can you comment on that, taking into account our relicense above ? > Our goals are to have the latest aiccu in Debian (main), and definately > the current one in Debian removed, because it is broken and hurting our > users. And of course a version going into main would be a good impetus to kick the old version out of Etch, where it's doing more harm than good I understand.
Yes, aiccu in Debian does not work. If releng does not approve of aiccu in main right now, then we would benefit also by an upload of 20070107 to non-free, so that at least the folks that want to use the Debian pool are in luck. I've CC'd this to debian-release on the off-chance that it's in their
sights regarding freeze-breakage, but frankly, I think we're three months too late on this one.
I understand - this has been an ongoing issue for quite some time now (~ 3 quarters). Let me know what the plans are, so SixXS knows where we stand. If anything can be done to fix the brokenness of aiccu in Debian, we're all ears! -- ----------- - - - - -+- - - - - ----------- Pim van Pelt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PBVP1-RIPE http://www.ipng.nl/
