Source: dmaths
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.3
Hello,
While visiting the upstream website [1], I saw a financial contribution has to
be paid in order to be able to download dmaths. This violates 2.3 in the Debian
policy.
No link for downloading the source can be found on the website.
I tried to reach upstream several weeks ago to confirm, but got no answer.
For those reasons, I think the package should be removed from Debian.
Best,
Pierre

There is no requirement in the DFSG or Debian Policy or elsewhere that
sources have to be available at any external place.
Upstream not providing sources publicly is OK.
Upstream asking a million Euro for downloading the sources is OK.
Upstream no longer existing is OK (and common).
The only thing that matters from a copyright point of view is that
the binaries in Debian are built from the sources that are in Debian.
