Hi Charles, thank you very much for your quick response! - Ursprüngliche Mail Von: Charles Plessy ple...@debian.org An: Johey Shmit joheysh...@yahoo.com CC: debian-legal@lists.debian.org Gesendet: Donnerstag, den 13.

It can be found at http://www.fmod.org/index.php/sales and reads: […] Can anyone confirm if that's ok for 'non-free'? Dear Johey, this license does not allow explicitely redistribution, so I think that you would need a clarification from fmod. Ok, I'll go and check with them. In addition the license does not allow modification as well, so even if it were technically possible to redistribute the software in the non-free area of our archive, the package would be very difficult to maintain. Yeah, I know. Unfortunately the game 'zdoom' which I'd love to see in Debian depends on this library. If fmod.org don't want to change the license, would it be ok to make a package that just downloads the binaries and installs them (as for example 'flashplugin-nonfree')?
