After looking at the licensing issues a little deeper, and consulting upstream, it seems there are two binary-only jars that are non-free and are required to compensate for lag. Removing them would significantly degrade the user experience and it seems there's no possibility for them to be opened up. So, I have no alternative but to give up this package since I have no plans of maintaining non-free software. There was also the case of parts of the distribution being none-DFSG compliant, which needed to be looked at, but mostly superseded by the previous constraint. I still think Jin is a great piece of software, and upstream has been very courteous in responding to my requests. If anyone is willing to take it up, please let me know off the list, so I can send you what I've done so far. Thanks for your input. I'll definitely do a better job with licensing aspects next time. -- Anuradha Weeraman http://www.linux.lk/~anu/ http://anuradha.wordpress.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
