When I last saw it, version 1.1 was internally inconsistant, with parts referring to the older version 1.0 licence. If there's no longer a copy on the URL given and there's no licence with the software, I don't think we have a valid licence. qtorrent has a serious bug if it includes bencode.py under BTOSL 1.0 Both should switch to the clean room implementation of bencode from http://bittorrent.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/bittorrent/BitTorrent/ I'm not sure about metafile.py - I only find it in deluge. Are you sure it's from bittorrent.com? The addition commit log email was http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00077.html but I don't see it in the next bittorrent.com sources http://download.bittorrent.com/dl/archive/BitTorrent-5.2.2.tar.gz Hope that helps, -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only: see http://people.debian.org/~mjr/ Please follow http://www.uk.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
