As we are distributing these files, it seems reasonable to document their
licence. But the Po

I would like to narrow the discussion to my specific problem, as I have
to make a decision to solve it.
The dokuwiki upstream tarball contains a Flash applet, in both source
and binary form. Only a proprietary tool can generate the binary from
the source. This applet is only a minor component, tha

Hello,
I know that there is a recent thread that talked about the status of
non-recompilable binaries in packages, with the common particular case

Could we do automated testing using:
