-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Mika & Pekka,
I have taken over the Debian GNU/Linux packaging of kphone from Barak and have made some preliminary packages available at http://people.debian.org/~msp. On closer inspection of your code I see that kphone links in openssl, which in itself isn't a problem but as you have released kphone under the GPL we need to ensure that all legal aspects have been covered and openssl/ GPL proves an interesting combination. http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.cgi#LEGAL2 Prior to kphone being accepted in the main Debian GNU/Linux archive we need to get the licence for kphone resolved so that Debian can legally redistribute binary versions of your application. The simplest way, and a similar approach I have taken with other packages I maintain <http://bugs.debian.org/147430>, is for you to include the following disclaimer with your package. (Provided of course you are happy with the statement) "This program is released under the GPL with the additional exemption that compiling, linking, and/or using OpenSSL is allowed." You might like to include that statement in the README file for the next release, but in the interium if you are happy to provide that statement via email (to [EMAIL PROTECTED], where it will be held on record) then I can get kphone uploaded to the Debian archive immedately.

(My earlier communication with him is below.) He also mentions the person who actually hacks on the code; might be good to introduce yourself to him as well. Thanks for doing kphone, --Barak. - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 06 Feb 2003 08:30:11 +0200 From: Mika Mustikkamaki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: debian package kphone.deb In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Barak! Your proposition is more than welcome!! We've been looking for someone to work with the Debian packages for some time now... actually we are also looking for RedHat rpm's but I'll leave that to someone else, then ;-) If you could email me your deb-package too after you have it finished - I'd be more than eager to upload it to KPhone's source distribution web page. If you have any questions regarding KPhone itself (code-wise), please contact Pekka Raisio ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). He's the one who primarily develops KPhone here.
