We are seeking advice on how to proceed about an upstream tarball distribution issue. The Debian Octave Group is planning to package the SUNDIALS library (http://www.llnl.gov/CASC/sundials/main.html) for integration into Octave. This package is released under a BSD License (http://www.llnl.gov/CASC/sundials/download/license.html). I think it is DFSG-compliant.
The problem is that prior to downloading the tarball (at http://www.llnl.gov/CASC/sundials/download/download.html), the user is asked to fill a form in a web page. Our question is: does this restriction decrease somehow the freeness of the package? If yes, how should we proceed in approaching the upstream authors about this problem? -- Rafael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
