Yes, the sources contain some files which license is not acceptable by Debian ftpmaster, so it has been rejected. > Which archive did you upload it too? > > I can see that there is a well maintained PPA for Ubuntu with packages > in good state here: > https://launchpad.net/~fransschreuder1/+archive/ubuntu/qucs > > Is there any reason why this package cannot enter Debian sid also > soon.

There are a bunch of files (mainly models) with non-free licenses. I'm trying to clean them all, but qucs funcionality are being reduced. I'm trying to find a replacement to keep it all working. Of course, the ppa package you say it's still worse in terms of licensing. I had already removed the files I was sure that were not free, but ftpmasters found some others.
