Hello,
I want to overtake the package d4x, which is still in Debian repository. And this package need some development (upstream), which I could do, too. The old developer = author have deleted the hole package website and nobody have heard of him for a long time (> 4 years I mean). But now I have seen, that this package is not fully licensed under the Artistic license 1.0 (as everybody would thought), but each source file have the following header: /* WebDownloader for X-Window * * Copyright (C) 1999-2002 Koshelev Maxim * This Program is free but not GPL!!! You can't modify it * without agreement with author. You can't distribute modified * program but you can distribute unmodified program. * * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. */ Now I ask me if this package agree with the DFSG ? Today I have tried to contact the old developer = author with his old email adress, but I think I get no answer. What can I do, if the author doesn't answer? Is there a way? Fondest regards, Joachim Wiedorn
