[Bug 109701] Re: [needs-packaging] Truecrypt
I would like to re-open this for a fresh evaluation, as it appears the license has changed significantly since the last go-through. It appears likely that TrueCrypt would only be suitable for multiverse, not universe, and would require re-branding similar to what was done with IceWeasel in Debian, but I think it can be included now. Thus, please take a look at the new license at http://www.truecrypt.org/legal/license and see if qualifies for inclusion yet. If not, please contact upstream at licens...@truecrypt.org about any remaining concerns. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: Invalid = Confirmed -- [needs-packaging] Truecrypt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109701 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 109701] Re: [needs-packaging] Truecrypt
Hi, I am closing this bug, as all the evidence seems to point to there being significant licensing concerns with Truecrypt, and until they are resolved it should not be included in Ubuntu. For instance there are the debian-legal discussions, along with this: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/distributions/2008-October/000273.html It seems at this point the only way that the package could enter Ubuntu is if Truecrypt clarify their license and remove the points of concern.
