The Cecill licence has a specific GPL-compatibility clause, basically, you can use any of the cecill covered programs in a GPL fashion, so it is fine for debian main. This is also what i remember the consensus was when this came up on debian-legal, basically, you take the GPL-compatibility clause and ignore all the rest :) Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
