Hello, I mentioned previously that I'm interested in packaging a few bits of numerical code available from some university websites that we depend on.
One is LUMOD from Stanford, and I stated that it had no license. I've now been informed that I missed a page on their site where the license is indeed given as optionally MIT or BSD: http://web.stanford.edu/group/SOL/software.html It consists of a single sentence at the top of that web page. Clearly the intention is to make the software free, however the license is not found in the downloadable zip files or any source files. I can try to convince them to add it to the source downloads, but as you know convincing people to change a file containing old code that has been hosted there for years is difficult at best. My question for Debian developers is, is it ok for me to add a quilt patch in my package that adds the license, or is that a no-no? regards, Steve
