Thanks a lot for the feedback. I'm going to give some quick answers to what I have in mind:

Actually the PKGBUILD will be re-written once the issues on license were solved. I'll also mention particularly about libpng12, to see if a specific version with latest libpng can be made available. > - I don't trust licenses with multiple obvious typos > - Is linking at runtime "integrating" with other software > - Are dontations to Arch counted as us making a profit from having it in > our repos? > - The terms indicate we are legally responsible to stop (e.g.) Manjaro > redistributing this.

And currently skype, steam and flashplugin in our repos are also subjected to the U.S. export laws. > Overall, that is a no from me. It is a deb, so "packaging" is no burden > for its users.

Only after the licensing issues been addressed, I'd like to ask again about the inclusion. Thanks again! Regards, Felix Yan
