I have been attempting to reach the original author at UCAR, Steve Emmerson without response. I will try to reach other people at UCAR to confirm that the COPYRIGHT license they placed at the top-level directory overrides this, and the "Not for direct resale" line can be removed.
For src/fontdb/hfgks.c, the "Copyright FORD MOTOR COMPANY" It appears this code is not required, and can be simply removed to make it dfsg-compliant. I am preparing a patch to do this. regards Alastair On 2013-02-12 20:19, Jonathan Wiltshire wrote: > Ping? > > For the avoidance of doubt, the outstanding point is that: > > Debian does not appear to have a license to distribute > src/port/misc/inetutil.c > src/port/misc/inetutil.h > src/fontdb/hfgks.c > > This puts xgks and its reverse dependency ferret-vis at risk of removal > from Wheezy. > > I previously scheduled removal but delayed it while you investigated.
