this is the license to use Qlustar as a distro. All individual packages
by us are fully open sourced and would fit into main. But Tony is of
course right, there is nothing to package here for Debian, since the Qlustar
packages make only sense for Qlustar ... Except: We
package some generally useful stuff for Debian that is needed for
Qlustar and not yet present in Debian (see the debian HPC group).
Hope this clarifies things. Cheers and all the best for your newborn
grand child Andreas,
Roland
