Hi there, I see this ticket after I packaged and uploaded an intermediate upstream of this package: * https://github.com/refraction-networking/utls * https://bugs.debian.org/959534

This case is different from dual license. I ever experienced single license to dual license transition for a few files in Linux kernel [1]. So I know this need ACK from original author.

Personally I think if it's the case, the project should be considered using the same license as upstream. > I'm now unsure to what we referred to previously when saying that there > might be licensing issues with Yawning's fork.

Since I already packaged the refraction-networking/utls, maybe you can simply use this one? It's still in NEW queue, but you can find the repo in salsa [3] [3] https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/golang-refraction-networking-utls I tried to compare both git repos, but I can only git fetch master branch from yawning/utls. Is this problem of my local git tool? Can you git fetch all branches / tags from yawning/utls? Hope it helps. Cheers, -- Roger Shimizu, GMT +9 Tokyo PGP/GPG: 4096R/6C6ACD6417B3ACB1
