I'm not able to explore the USB program, how does it work?

First from the panel inside Flash 6000 you neither must reset the command 
prompt of the shell, nor should log in the directory to remove from the 
connector.

Bug#543730: SIP 4.8 has a new (non-free?) license

[James Y Knight]

Source: sip4-qt3
Version: 4.8.1-1
Severity: serious

The copyright file in the package contains the license for SIP 4.0 not  
SIP 4.8. (That's a bug in itself...)


The *actual* SIP 4.8 license (contained in the file named LICENSE)  
is substantially different. In particular, it now contains a new clause:

4. Licensee may not use SIP 4.8.1 to generate Python bindings for any
C or C++ library for which bindings are already provided by Riverbank.



As I understand things, this makes the license non-free due to DFSG6  
No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor, and furthermore, not  
GPL-compatible.
