Ah, then I understand. Yes, for most packages I am sloppy and treat unlicensed files as under same license as the license applied for surrounding files. An exception (i.e. an experiment of another approach) can be seen with ghostscript (try run lintian against that and you might understand why I have put that experiment on hold for now). I will leave this open, but am unlikely to solve it any time soon. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
