Alright, that's what I thought anyways. > But looking at CREDITS of eboard-extras-pack2, I see two problems: > - Adventurer and Utretch are derivative work of some freeware fonts > for which we don't know the license > - some sounds were found on the net, we don't know their licenses. > > Unless clarified by upstream (maybe the freeware font is a free one and > sounds that were downloaded were public domain), I think this not free > and even not distributable.

But you might want to remove dependency on > eboard-extras-pack2 until license stuffs are settled. Tell me. Yes, that's a good idea, and would probably give eboard some chance to make it still into lenny (on the regular path, at least). I removed the Suggests entry for now. The updated versions of eboard (pack2 suggestion removed) and eboard-extras-pack1 (now lintian-clean) are on mentors, as usual: * http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/e/eboard/eboard_1.1.1-1.dsc * http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/e/eboard-extras-pack1/eboard-extras-pack1_2-2.dsc Is this it, do I have a sponsor now? If yes, that was easy. :-) Best regards and thanks, Patrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
