-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello good people--
I'm considering ITP'ing CIAO [0], but before i look into it further, i wanted to get this community's advice on its freeness. I wasn't able to find any prior discussion of CIAO within debian, but if i missed something, please let me know. The bulk of CIAO appears [1] to be licensed under the "Smithsonian Institution Copyright" License [2]. The only other debian reference to this license i've been able to turn up is in Steve McIntyre's report on netpbm licensing [3], which refers to it as "A variation on the BSD license". I haven't done a full code audit yet to ensure that all the relevant source is in fact under the SIC, but if the SIC itself is considered non-free, that would be a huge blocker for me. Thanks for the great work you all do keeping debian on the right track.
