Hi, I'm writing you on behalf of the Debian Med team that has the goal to include Free Software which is relevant in medicine and biology into official Debian. For instance the following list of packages in the field of biology might be relevant for you to understand this goal easily:
http://blends.debian.org/med/tasks/bio The programm inspect at http://proteomics.ucsd.edu/Software/Inspect.html came into our interest and we would like to do the packaging as well. I downloaded the source code and found some binary JAR files in it which is a show stopper to let a package go into main Debian if there are no sources. Considering that the license of inspect would be regarded as "non-free" under the strict Debian Free Software Guidelines since it restricts commercial usage this is no real harm but refering to the correct locations where this third party software was obtained from is mandatory. I was trying to seek for ComputeFDR.jar which has NOTICE.TXT file stating This file is part of the Universal Java Matrix Package (UJMP). but when I downloaded ujmp[1] I was not able to find anything which seems to be related to the content of ComputeFDR.jar. Also some web search only revealed a description how to use ComputeFDR - but no real hint where its source can be found and whether it is distributable or not. I also failed to find any hint about the sources of BuildMS2DB.jar and MS2DBShuffler.jar. On the other hand none of these JARs is needed to build the inspect executable and I wonder for what purpose these JARs are bundled into the inspect source at all since I can not find any hint that these are actually used. I hope you like our idea to package inspect and will be able to shade some light into the issues above. Kind regards Andreas.
