Next step would be a friendly question from the developper to remove the software from Debian. Do you know an example of software what is distributed by Debian when it's clear the development team behind it, doesn't want that? <cut> > In any event, without particular licenses The license is clear, it's plain AGPL. > and source files, we're having > an academic discussion without concrete information or relation to > Debian, which isn't on topic for debian-legal. I've spoken to the developer and he does not want the name of his program into this discussion. In his opinion the question is clear. He thinks it would make the name of his new program "dirty". I think you can say: Debian does not want any software at this moment what's not "free as in beer". The problem is, that such software does not fit in any of the existing repositories. The correct place of this program would be in "main", but people expect "free as in beer" software there. Myself included.
