Hello debian-legal, I'm thinking about packaging SRP for debian. Question 1: I'm not sure if there are any problem on packaging it. What do you think about?
Question 2: If a program that use it shows the license only with a
option for the executable like "program_name --version", it breaks the
copyright?
Question 3: Is this compatible with GPL?
I search in debian-legal and I found an old thread, but It doesn' answer
this questions.
