Luca, It seems I forgot to CC the bug report as well as Ola on this email. I will be including debina-legal on this one as well, as IANAL. Thank you for including the exception in your license. There is still a problem however. I see the you added to the COPYING file to your svn trunk. As I understand it, the 3.3 version that Debian is shipping must be re-released with the license changes. I have been unable to find an exact match to the current orig tarball for Debian, which is 3.3 without a minor version. I also checked you svn tags for something that might match. When compared the earliest 3.3 revision on sourceforge, 3.3.7, the diffstat looks quite heavy: 120 files changed, 27096 insertions(+), 26818 deletions(-) Do you mind re-releasing this tarball provided that debian-legal does not chime in and tell us it is not required? Thanks, Jordan Metzmeier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
