...there are many other tools too, which are not included in the Debian
version since there is a heavy license issue on netpbm.

I have already downloaded the original version of netpbm and tried to
fugure out, which nepbmtool is using which license and where are the
contributors.  Unfortunatly there are not 10 or 20 contributors but it
seems wide over 100...  Some can not be reached which let the tools in
an inacceptable license state for Debian...

If you want, you can download the source from SF.net find out the
contributors, try to contact them ALL (!!!) and then try to convince
them to use ONLY ONE license which fit the DFSG.

Good luck!

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
