retitle 364034 ITP: truecrypt -- cross-platform disk encryption owner 364034 Balint Reczey <bal...@balintreczey.hu> thanks
Hi, I would like help the package maintenance of truecrypt started by Russel [1] and upload the package to non-free it if the revised (3.0) license allows that. I think having the package in non-free would be better than having and installer but I'm not 100% sure if the new license allows even that. To my understanding the previous (2.x) license has already been discussed [2] on debian-legal and found to be not clear enough and definitely not DFSG-free. I'm hereby seeking debian-legal's advice to decide whether the new license allows truecrypt to be uploaded to non-free.
