I'd create a new task soon. > If I think this idea even further: Is it time to start a Debian > Physics Blend now.

My speciality is theoretical high energy physics :-) For the license of Geant4, IMHO, the developers of Geant4 must know Free Software well and have solid reasons to draw a new license incompatible with the definition of FSF. Unless I had large contribution to Geant4, I'd not discuss the license issue with the authors. Personally, I'm not good at diplomatic things.
