--- Begin Message ---Source: nethack Version: 3.4.3-14 Severity: serious X-Debbugs-CC: vch...@debian.org Hi, While reviewing the copyright file for the NetHack 3.6.1 upload, I noticed that the debian directory (and its patches) are marked as under the GPL-2.0. Unfortunately NetHack's special NGPL license is not compatible with the GPL (both are copyleft with some conflicting terms), so I have come to the conclusion that Debian's version of NetHack is not distributable in binary form at all. Thankfully I think this can be resolved fairly smoothly. If I look at the package history, I see that before 3.4.3-14 everything was licensed under the NGPL (except for the lisp patches). In this version, the copyright file was changed to relicense(?!) the debian/ directory under the GPL. Vincent and I are the only people who have claimed copyright since that point, and I am fine with licensing my stuff under the NGPL, so Vincent is the only person who needs asking. Vincent, can all your changes to the nethack package be licensed under the NGPL instead of the GPL-2.0? Thanks, James
