We have software under this licence in main already, notably postfix and graphviz. The license has been discussed explicitly on debian-legal at least once [1] and no flaws big enough to cause it to be considered non-free were discovered. [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/01/msg00297.html For my attempt to summarize the 2005 discussion, see http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/01/msg00847.html The patent self-destruct feature of the license is quite restrained and is within what we generally consider fair self-defense. -- Henning Makholm "... it cannot be told in his own words because after September 11 he forgot about keeping his diary for a long time." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
