Hello Markus, (please keep the team CCed, if it's not a problem for you) I'd like to upload osmconvert to Debian repositories. I could do it right now, but wanted to talk with you about some issues I believe noteworthy :)
First, it would be very good if you kept the source in tarballs (something like "osmconvert-x.y.tar.gz"), so that scripts can see when a new version is released. Secondly, the licensing of osmconvert.c is a bit unclear to me. First, you say "GNU Affero GPL", but then write "see GNU GPL for more details". Which one? Also, which version? I suppose "3 or any later"? :) Thirdly, it seems like parts of the code are licensed under GPL-1+ (that means, "may be relicensed by you alternatively under GPL version 1, 2 or 3."). I'd suggest you split these to separate files, each with a proper license header. Last but not least, it would be great if the tarball could use autotools, to help with possible portability issues (Debian runs on a wide number of architectures). I'd be glad to help, if you need. I can even prepare you a revised 0.2T tarball (would that be 0.2U?), if you wish (and, version numbers with letters inside are a bit strange ;)) Thanks for reading this, David Debian OpenStreetMap Team -- .
