Together with this statement from an older mail to this bug: ,---- T. V. Raman | Jim -- My intention has always been GPL pure and simple, same as | linux. `---- it is clear that this package is DFSG-free. However, this should be indicated not only in the bug log, but also clearly in the package sources and copyright file. I hope this will be done in the next upstream version, anyway. So we'd better lower the severity of this bug _now_, so that it is not removed from sarge. James, how is your packaging of 21.0 going? Any chances for an upload that could make it into sarge, now that the release team has again promised to freeze soon? > There's one more small point, the license of the documentation.
