Yes. What you really mean is will can Debian distribute those packages as part of main (or at least, non-free). That's probably a question for debian-legal, but it depends *a lot* on the content of EULA.txt and how flexible upstream is about changing it. The advertisement window is not strictly forbidden, IIRC. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.
