Re: licence for Truecrypt
Hi! The license has been already discussed on the malinglist with opinions 'DFSG-compatible' and 'not DFSG-compatible'. I added it to the wiki. http://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses?action=show#head-4aa606633f3372dc9d5087b69c2f40d06bcd3c2d How to get a final / official verdict about it? -mr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: licence for Truecrypt
Hello, Foreword : I'm not part of the debian-legal team. I'm just taking care of keeping the wiki clean. I removed the Truecrypt license from the page because : * This license is specific to a single package. A bug might me more appropriate to track that. (IMHO). * The state of that license is currently undecided, it doesn't make sense to put it on DFSGLicenses, which is a reference page. * Get yourself a proper wikiname : foo looks like a spammer account ;) On Sun, 2008-06-15 at 17:13 +0200, Michael Reichenbach wrote: Francesco Poli schrieb: On Sun, 15 Jun 2008 14:57:30 +0200 Michael Reichenbach wrote: The license has been already discussed on the malinglist with opinions 'DFSG-compatible' and 'not DFSG-compatible'.

What about keeping the status of the license in : http://bugs.debian.org/364034 It was already added to the 'unclear' section with 'unclear' status. What was wrong with? Now completely deleting was an action I really can not understand. If debian-legal find it appropriate, please undo my change. Sorry for any inconvenience.
