Sure, it's not a GPL violation by upstream. But the GPL requires that Debian provides the source code corresponding to the generated HTML files. If we can't do so, the documentation is not redistributable and cannot be distributed by Debian. You should ask upstream to provide the source code, or to use a DFSG-compliant non-copyleft license (like the BSD license). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
