Hello. A month ago, I raised the question of whether the packages in non-us/non-free could move to non-free. The discussion died out before there was any consensus, so I'm raising it again.
There are two packages in non-us/non-free, pgp5i and rsaref2. ckermit, which I am adopting, would also need to move into non-us/non-free, as I am adding the crypto compile options. If I understand things correctly, their licenses would permit the move (ie meet the EAR requirements) , and in the case of rsaref2 and pgp5i, the only thing holding them in non-us is the RSA patent, which I believe expired in September 2000. I realise that as it is non-free, debian might not want to go through the hassle of EAR/BXA registration. any comments? Ian. PS I will soon be looking for a sponsor for uploading ckermit, please drop me a line if you can help.
