Hello, I hope I'm contacting the right folks! I'm trying to find out the copyright status of the elilo-installer package to see if it qualifies as free software or not. Below is a bit of a description and I was advised by debian-legal to ask the package maintainers. Hope someone can help!

Please contact the debian-boot mailing list, and/or the package's contributors (as identified in debian/changelog), to have this corrected. -- Steve Langasek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
