Dear all, dear Florian, I am preparing a package (1) in which I have added the the PDF manual (2) which in the public domain. It has been created from a MSWord document. The upstream author is considering rewriting it in LaTeX, but of course, ther is no guarantee that it will be done shortly. (1) http://bugs.debian.org/365499 (2) available on the same page as the sources, http://probcons.stanford.edu/download.html Does it mean that I have to remove the pdf documentation, and indicate to the users how to download it by themselves in the manpage and/or README.Debian? Interestingly, one could consider that a PDF file is not a program. As in addition this one is in the public domain, it has no licence nor copyright. Does it mean that the DFSG do not apply and that I can distribute it in the debian package ?
