Ayup. Fairly obviously somebody just decided "hey, let's release the source

I wonder if the Open Source Initiative would consider helping companies to
openly licence their software properly, rather than this half-arsed approach
that appears to be the popular choice nowadays.

Pending a response from Raven, would it be at all acceptable to place
the acc package somewhere offsite and have the zeth package tell you
where to get it, or is even that running afoul of policy?
Also, I can't believe I forgot this, as it was one of my major questions
that prompted be to write the e-mail in the first place. zeth uses some
functions from Allegro 4.1.x, but the version in the Debian archives is
outdated. (4.0.3) I was able to "backport" a few functions (which is
quite acceptable due to the license on Allegro), but that's a messy way
of handling it. What's the best way to handle this?
I've scrapped the zeth-doc package altogether, as well, as there's a
much more updated site available (http://www.zdoom.org/wiki/), and is
licensed under the GNU Doc License. I might attempt to package that up
at some point, but I doubt it, since it's a Wiki site, so it's extremely
transient.
