Unfortunately this is out of my control. I've sent two emails to the upstream (as well as CC'ed maintainer) asking for these legal issues to be clarified somehow in a reasonable way, but no any feedback as of yet... for more than month or so. > > 1.3 You claim that the copyright holder is Craig Small, but that's not > > true, it's Francisco Rosales and "a group of cypherpunks" I've missed that easy one. Fixed in 3.7-2.2 you can grab from: ftp://ftp.logos-bg.net/debian-addons-bg/dists/unstable/shc/ Well, it is always better to have a package version with less bugs than the previous version, but in case 1.2 is a showstopper I'll tend to agree with the package removal. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 <people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu> fingerprint 1AE7 7C66 0A26 5BFF DF22 5D55 1C57 0C89 0E4B D0AB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
