In recent correspondence with boinc developers here: http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/pipermail/boinc_dev/2012-July/018782.html it appears that they are willing to take steps to make their software free and remove it from the blacklist on LibrePlanet (and a fortiori allow it to be packaged in free distributions).
I would like help with advising them (entering that conversation on the boinc-dev mailing list is preferable), and eventually to approve the blacklist removal. Anyone qualified to do so, please do. Cheers, Ramana
