Greetings,
I intend to package Babel, a tool from Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratories, homepage:
http://www.llnl.gov/CASC/components/babel.html
From that page:
"The Babel tool suite consists of a number of separate pieces: a
SIDL parser, a code generator, a small run-time support library, and
the Alexandria component repository."
Babel and SIDL will be essential for the packaging of PETSc version 3,
currently under development and intended for release later this year. (I
am also the maintainer of the Debian PETSc package, version 2.1.1 of
which is planned for release with woody and 2.1.2 is in unstable.)
Copyright is of the "All rights reserved" variety, with the following
excerpted from the COPYRIGHT file:
Commercialization of this product is prohibited without notifying
the Department of Energy (DOE) or Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory (LLNL).
This is obviously in conflict with DFSG, so Babel will go in non-free,
putting PETSc 3 in contrib (when it is released). I will both request
permission for distribution from upstream as a precondition to uploading
it into the archive, and also pursue the possibility of DFSG-compatible
licensing, since this is really not a favorable state of affairs; I'm
accepting it for now as a necessary evil but will do what I can to
change it.
Zeen,

Hello,
I uploaded the 0.8.0-1 package about two weeks ago, and just got word
it's been accepted into unstable. Now it will be autobuilt for the
eleven architectures, and trivial to install for Debian users.
I'm not current on the status of the gcc-3.2 compilers' package, that's
the only thing that could keep babel from going into testing in the
usual two weeks.
