there's another burn-in program which is based on gromacs inner loops 
(such as those used in [EMAIL PROTECTED]) which tends to drive up cpu 
temperatures even more than the programs already in cpuburn package.  it 
has the additional advantage of checking its consistency as it goes.

its license isn't specified explicitly but gromacs itself is GPL and 
stresscpu is a derived work... so it must be GPL.


Well on one hand it is a derived work, but on the other hand, this 
program is not linked to gromacs and can run independently. This 
reasoning is not enought to know the license of this software. There is 
not even the name of the author in the sources! Care to contact the 
author of the software to clarify that ?



please consider including it in cpuburn package...


This has to be a separate package. cpuburn and stresscpu are different 
programs, with different source tarballs, it's not a good idea to put 
both of them in the same debian package. I am therefore reassigning this 
bug to wnpp.
