Dear ftp-masters, the recently accepted 'caret' package received a bug report asking for clarification of the debian/copyright wrt to a listed non-free license.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=518688 The original request to include a verbatim copy of the file is attached below. Would it be acceptable to remove to OpenContent license from debian/copyright, as it is not relevant for the pieces of AFNI code included in caret (which are licensed under the GPL-2+)? Or do you recommend/require the full specs of the AFNI package to be present? Thanks in advance for clarifying, Michael On Sat, Aug 09, 2008 at 11:07:34PM +0000, Mark Hymers wrote: > Dear Maintainer, > > From your debian/copyright file: > > This source code has been derived from parts of the AFNI package > (http://afni.nimh.nih.gov).
