Hello Steffen, I saw "non-free", got curious, and had a look at the license. To me it looks fine for main. I think the reason it might initially look non-free is § 1 (a), but before that it says "under one of the following terms", and § 1 (b) is no more than what's in the GPL and so clearly should be fine for main. Did I perhaps miss something troublesome in the license? | Use, Modification and Redistribution (including distribution of any | modified or derived work) in source and binary forms is permitted only | if each of the following conditions is met: | | 1. Redistributions qualify as "freeware" or "Open Source Software" under | one of the following terms: | | (a) Redistributions are made at no charge beyond the reasonable cost of | materials and delivery. | | (b) Redistributions are accompanied by a copy of the Source Code or by an | irrevocable offer to provide a copy of the Source Code for up to three | years at the cost of materials and delivery. Such redistributions | must allow further use, modification, and redistribution of the Source | Code under substantially the same terms as this license. For the | purposes of redistribution "Source Code" means the complete source | code of ESTScan including all modifications. | | Other forms of redistribution are allowed only under a separate royalty- | free agreement permitting such redistribution subject to standard | commercial terms and conditions. A copy of such agreement may be | obtained from the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics at the above address. [...] -- Göran Weinholt Debian developer 73 de SA6CJK
