Hi, Thanks for all your work on MEME :-) We actually were willing to package MEME inside Debian, so that folks using Debian or derivatives could simply: "$sudo apt-get install meme"
And use your great work with ease! However, we experience a problem - The current license for MEME states: """ Those desiring to incorporate this software into commercial products or use for commercial purposes should contact the Technology Transfer Office, University of California, San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, California, 92093-0910, Phone: (858) 534-5815. """ This actually ends up going against the Debian Free software Guidelines[1] (point no. 6 - The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research), and makes it harder (if not impossible) to package and vendor this software in the archive. Could you please modify the license and allow "everyone" to freely copy, modify, and distribute the software? Or make it free software for everyone? Or even better use a free software in parcticular DFSG compatible license[2]? Please do let us know.
