Lots of thanks, I found that info extremelly useful. Even when it is a great program, the program has to go to non-free:
"Stellarium has been moved in section non-free to close bug #198495 (Please clarify copyright license of astronomical data used by this software). Please look at the copyright file for more informations." "The astronomical data are from the Hipparcos data catalogue." "The Hipparcos data catalogue license complies with the DFSG. A message acknowledging ESA has been put in this copyright file." "Unfortunately, stellarium upstream can't give me the licence of the textures and the images the program displays. Some are coming from Celestia, and some are coming from "unknown" sources. Upstream understands well the licensing problems and is going to work on this. As long as this issue remains, Stellarium will stay in non-free." As I already have it packaged, mostly because it is a program I personally use and it's easier for me to install and uninstall it this way, I understand why the original maintainer might has lost his interest in it. I don't think I'd like to maintain it myself. Maybe I'll just put it in mentors.debian.es just in case it is useful for anyone, or maybe I should write to the original maintainer.
