Hi -legal folks John changed license in 1.2.11 and released again with a full GPL license, removing post-card condition, (he thanks for our plain and polite management of the issue - for -legal people, hip hip hurrah!!! :) ).
So we could go straight with proftpd 1.2.8. The release currently in sid will be updated as a consequence. The license problem unfortunately applies to woody release, also. Maybe should we propose an update for this in r2? IMHO we could consider to add a note in its README.Debian. Unluckily, 1.2.11 is not functionally the same as 1.2.10, so a patch should be avoided...
