Dear list,
The opencpn program can use an usb dongle to administrate commercial
chart licenses. Most opencpn users purchases licenses locked to a
specific computer and don't use this dongle. Using a dongle users can
use one license on several machines by just moving the dongle.
The dongle interface is a small, closed-source solib. I guess it could
be described as a sort of user-space driver. Since it is closed source
it cannot go to the main archive. From here, I have some questions:
1. Is it possible to package such a solib in the non-free section?
2. opencpn would have a weak Suggests: or Recommends: on this package.
Would it mean it has to move to contrib?
3. If it is possible to package in non-free, how is this done? I don't
find much on this topic googling around
Cheers!
