The licience is compatible ( "For packages containing solely software licensed under the GPL, LGPL, BSD/MIT (without the "advertising clause"), or Apache Software Foundation licenses, the packaging work is licensed under the same license as the software itself."), and some of our users need a RPM which works (Bastiaan).
Ole, if you want any help, I'm your man ! (and we can also provide a debian install).

Absolutely!
Right now the current RPM we have is a mess. We need some people to
