Note that cal.h is a header file containing only function declarations and no actual code (although I guess what counts as 'actual code' is debatable). The matching function definitions are in a proprietary library that the BOINC client loads at runtime with dlopen/dlsym. Dynamically linking to a proprietary library like that is OK for BOINC since it is licensed under the LGPL, but I don't know whether it's OK for Debian. -- Nicolas (I read mailing lists through Gmane.
