* Package name : golang-github-bemasher-rtltcp * URL : https://github.com/bemasher/rtltcp * License : AGPLv3 Programming Lang: Go Description : Go library interface to an rtltcp daemon This is a Go library that allows programs a high-level means of interacting with rtltcp, a daemon that allows for remote control of an RTL-SDR (if you're familiar with SoapyRemote, it's similar). This is the last remaining dependency for packaging rtlamr, a program from the same author. Note that this library is under the AGPLv3, not the ordinary GPL, so applications that use it need to be AGPL-compatible (generally means AGPL or GPL), and then the final binary is subject to the AGPL. I'm aware of the recent discussions around Berkeley DB and how problematic this can be for programs that aren't traditionally thought of as being network-facing, but since rtlamr is by the same author under the same license and thought to be its only user, my opinion is that this is pretty insignificant. If other programs use this library someday, of course, we'll have to check that they are respectful of the license. I will maintain this in the Debian Go Team's umbrella and in accordance with their practices because it's written in Go, but it will be used mostly by ham radio folks. I'm not a Debian Developer or Maintainer, so I'm grateful to have already identified a possible sponsor who is knowledgeable in both areas.
