Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I'd like to see the captive package (NTFS R/W driver) contained in
Debian. The home Page is:
http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/
The AUTHORS file reads:
<snip>
Author of "captive" - libcaptive and libcaptive clients:
Jan Kratochvil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
http://www.jankratochvil.net/
captive is based on ReactOS - ReactOS authors are listed in reactos/CREDITS
file if not specified by ReactOS otherwise.
http://www.reactos.com/
GPL patches for GPL-ed ReactOS compatibility with the GPL-ed project "captive"
have authorship of Jan Kratochvil. Some of those patches were alrady integrated
into ReactOS CVS repository ":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/CVS/ReactOS", the
others remain maintained in my "reactos" repository branch "captive"
against branchpoint "bp_captive".
http://cvs.jankratochvil.net/viewcvs/reactos/?only_with_tag=captive
Integrated small parts of Wine are originally covered by LGPL-2.1.
According to point 3 of LGPL-2.1 it was chosen to apply the terms of GPL-2.0
instead to get fully compatible license with captive project.

Integrated cabextract by Stuart Caie licensed according to GPL-2.0.

Supplied Ext2fsd by Matt Wu licensed according to GPL-2.0.

so there should be no license problems.
Kind Regards,
Hilmar

I'm afraid, that the captive package rather causes licensing issues,
which *might* by the reason, why nobody packaged it until now. AFAIK
there are meanwhile alternatives like a combination of fuse and
ntfs-3g. Hence that package is probably not neede any more.
-> Closing.
