True, thanks for pointing that out. I will initiate a discussion regarding a license change within the project towards LGPL for both libnetmd and libhimd. While there shouldn't be any issues regarding the license change for libhimd (since we wrote all the code ourselves), we will have to ask the original authors of libnetmd who abandoned the project in 2004. But I am pretty confident they won't have any problems with the license change either. Thanks, Adrian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
