Hi,

There is a suite of applications which have been released "free download
and use" including the source code, which I would like to package.

The software is released with the source code by John Denton, formerly of
the Whittle Lab at Cambridge, who has not licensed or copyrighted the code
(I dont believe FOSS is / was his thing, just releasing the code to the
engineering community as a gesture of goodwill upon his retirement). The
statement of the software being free can be read on the webpage, and also
in the conference paper within which he announced his release of the
software as "free for the community to use".

What are the rules for this in Debian? Various people have downloaded and
reuploaded the code to their own Github repositories ...

The source code is currently available via Dropbox download link.

The webpage is here:

An example of people reuploading the code to Github is here:
https://github.com/paopaoai11/Multall-open-18.3

Would it be allowed to package this for Debian?
/Jonathan
