--- Begin Message ---Package: esniper Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.2.3 [Cc:d to debian-legal] Hi, It's not obvious it is legal to distribute this software at all (probably it either is fit for main or unfit for non-free too). I suggest a review on debian-legal, since I'm not well versed in (at least this area of) law. I found nothing about this in debian-legal archives, so I assume it has not been discussed. 2.2.3 says "Packages must be placed in _non-free_ if they are not compliant with the DFSG or are encumbered by patents or other legal issues that make their distribution problematic." (I expected to find something saying something about software that cannot be distributed at all, but apparently it's not there, and all the language in other sections seems very copyright and patent centric.) eBay TOS (or "User Agreement" in eBay terms) says[1]: ------------------------------------------------------------ "_Access and Interference_ The Sites contains robot exclusion headers.

Sniping is part of the eBay experience, and all bids placed before a listing ends are valid, even if a bidder places the bid one second before the listing ends. Learn how to avoid being outbid. ~~~~ [1]: http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/report-trading.html Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.
