Bug#555168: Unclear license situation for (e)glibc locales provided by you
Hello Dr. Kreutzmann I have absolutely no objections to the statement being modified to allow for modification and re-licensed. Pablo contacted me for help so I have included his updated e-mail in the reply too. As long as the locale can be updated, modified and distributed freely for the benefit of everyone I have no objections :) If you require anything else from me please do not hesitate to ask.

Thus it does not allow modification; it is unclear, however, if this statement was meant as a license. As discussed in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=555168 this locale could strictly speaking not be part of Debian which would be a great loss. (Currently it is allowed pending investigation). To properly resolve this, I would like to ask you the following question: Would you be willing to relicense this locale to a proper license, e.g. (L)GPL v2 or higher or another free software license of your choice? If you have any questions regarding this issue, do not hesitate to contact me (via the reply-to address set). Thanks for helping to resolve this!

According to Pablo's website: http://chanae.walon.org/~srtxg/ . He has two e-mail addresses on this website: sr...@chanae.walon.org and pa...@walon.org which I have also included in this e-mail. Hopefully either of these should work.
