Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I'd like to see the captive package (NTFS R/W driver) contained in
Debian. The home Page is:

http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/

The AUTHORS file reads:

<snip>
Author of "captive" - libcaptive and libcaptive clients:
Jan Kratochvil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
                http://www.jankratochvil.net/

captive is based on ReactOS - ReactOS authors are listed in reactos/CREDITS
file if not specified by ReactOS otherwise.
                http://www.reactos.com/

GPL patches for GPL-ed ReactOS compatibility with the GPL-ed project "captive"
have authorship of Jan Kratochvil. Some of those patches were alrady integrated
into ReactOS CVS repository ":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/CVS/ReactOS", the
others remain maintained in my "reactos" repository branch "captive"
against branchpoint "bp_captive".
                
http://cvs.jankratochvil.net/viewcvs/reactos/?only_with_tag=captive

Integrated small parts of Wine are originally covered by LGPL-2.1.
According to point 3 of LGPL-2.1 it was chosen to apply the terms of GPL-2.0
instead to get fully compatible license with captive project.

Integrated cabextract by Stuart Caie licensed according to GPL-2.0.
                http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/cabextract.php

Supplied Ext2fsd by Matt Wu licensed according to GPL-2.0.
                http://sys.xiloo.com/projects/projects.htm#ext2fsd
</snip>

so there should be no license problems.

Kind Regards,
  Hilmar
